Additionally, while Apple's OS should be available using Apple's various Internet recovery options, this can often take a long time to download, especially if you do not have the fastest broadband connections available to you. As with OS X Lion, Apple will likely release USB drives containing a bootable Mountain Lion installer, but this will cost you more than the App Store download. You also might be interested in creating a standalone install drive for Mountain Lion. If you're interested in the new OS, then be sure to read our guide on preparing your Mac for installing the upgrade, which includes information on the OS requirements, backing up, and clearing up resolvable issues before performing the upgrade.
