Jun 12, 2012 Apple held its much-anticipated Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote today announcing the new MacBook Pro and Apple's new operating system, Mountain Lion, both of which are poised to greatly improve enterprise functionality. A sheet asks for your Apple ID and password. Type them in the appropriate fields; click Sign In, and your Mountain Lion installation (or reinstallation) begins. The operating system takes 30 to 60 minutes to install, so now might be a good time to take a coffee break. When the install is finished, your Mac restarts itself. I think that computer could handle Mountain Lion. Lion felt like a regression as far as speed, but ML has some welcome improvements. If you're trying to do this in a totally legitimate fashion, I would order a copy of Snow Leopard from Apple telesales (1-800-MY-APPLE).
