Mountain Lion will also feature system-wide sharing that will make it easier to share links, photos, videos and other files quickly without having to switch to another app, and the new Dictation will allow users to dictate text anywhere they can type. It even works on apps created by third-party developers.
Game Center will bring the popular social gaming network from iOS to the Mac computer. This allows users to enjoy live, multiplayer games with friends who are on the Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
