You can grab it from the Mac App Store (MAS) now. Once you're setup, let me know how it works for you. Personally, I'm hoping for just a little bit more battery life love on the Retina MacBook Pro...

I hopes it makes things a little more stable.
as do I. random apps seem to just crash for no reason upon launch. Messages, the Displays control panel, etc.
I don't see any OS X update in the app store for mountain lion :(
im still noticing issues with exchange email with mail 6.0......each time I open mail all is fine but when i choose either sent folder, deleted folder, etc all my 'exchange' mail disappears
I was hoping this was fixed with 10.8.1 but looks like not, not sure if anyone out here can test on 10.8.2
I'm with Rene on wanting to hear about any battery-life improvement for us rMBP owners...
Haven't had time to test it out thoroughly, but the numbers themselves have increased tremendously. On battery power, it went from the typical 6:48 - with almost immediate drops - to 10:18 on a full charge. If that holds up, or is anywhere near with real use, I will be thrilled.
After installing the new update of 10.8.1, at full battery charged still reported at around 5 hrs of battery life. The sleep indicator light still glow solid white after the lid closed (still connect to power adaptor plugged).
