Is it just me, or does mountain lion have more beach balls, longer boot time, and other unexplained weirdness that clears up with a reboot?

I'm having mixed feelings about Mountain Lion. On the one hand, I like some of the features that more closely integrate with my iWhatever. I appreciate having the notes, reminders, imessage, etc that makes it so I can switch from a mobile device to desktop device.
But on the other hand, I see far more beach balls, such as when simply starting Safari. Applications take a long time to initialize as they try to, I'm guessing, sync with iCloud.   I get more application hangs. You know, the ones that leave you dead in the water until you reboot, but then mysteriously vanish for weeks. and boot time is frustrating. I spend far more time waiting for my desktop and applications to initialize and stabilize after a login.
Granted, much of my frustration here is not based in the technical. It's based on "user experience" where I don't normally pay attention when it's working well. It just feels to me that the behaviour of ML is much more similar to windows of the past, where a reboot once or twice a day cured most ills.
Is it just me or does anyone else have similar feelings of disappointment.
thanks!

Hmmmmm... OK y'all have got me thinking.
I normally run disk check and repair, this time it found a number of files and links related to printers and image devices, stuff that isn't likely part of the issue. There were three links, however, related to core graphics. the permissionss were rwxr-xr-x when they should be rwxrwxrwx. I don't think those are involved, but alas they are fixed.
It seems like much of my issues seems to revolve around the mounting/access of resources outside my laptop, be it icloud, nfs server, samba server, etc. RIght at this moment, Finder is hung hard. I tried to force restart it, and in the Force quit menu I now see two Finders. One will kill and restart immediately, one does nothing.   And I can't open a finder window period.
In fact, just before writing this, I was attempting to edit a text document in StarOffice, and StarOffice went to lunch trying to access my samba share. Now before y'all go nuts about any samba server side issues, let me say that while my MBP is having issues accessing my samba shares, none of my other computing devices are. W7 laptop pulls up samba file system as fast as if not faster than it's own local file systems. My other MBP (older core2 duo, but still on mountain lion) does not seem to have any issues. I don't believe it a server side issue.
So I asked myself, what's different on my 2.66 gb i7 MBP?? It just occurred to me that I have one piece of software that's pretty deeply rooted in file system management....   Tuxera NFS.   I see that it has not been updated since updating to Mountain Lion, so I am going to check that out, and will post results.

Does Mountain Lion Have PDF Editing Features?

I need to fill out documents and forms that I download or scan into my computer as PDFs. Does OS X have this capability or is there some plug-in, freeware. or low cost PDF editor that would fit the bill?

For those tasks that are too complicated for Preview, I use PDFPen. Here's their website:
http://www.smilesoftware.com/PDFpen/index.html
As you can see there, they have a free trial available. (As I recall, the free trial is functional, but just prints their logo if you print output.)
I have no financial interest in PDFPen. I am a satisfied customer of theirs.

Has Apple done anything to address the issue of Mountain Lion's inability to support Epson printers? I have a Stylus Photo RX620 that now is useless. I am not a computer geek so would rather not try to do an uninstall of Mt. Lion and go back to S.Leopard

Has Apple done anything to address the issue of Mountain Lion's inability to support Epson printers? I have a Stylus Photo RX620 that now is useless. I am not a computer geek so would rather not try to do an uninstall of Mt. Lion and go back to S.Leopard

Have you tried to open System Preferences, then Print & Scan and then try to Add + a printer?
I have an Epson RX580 and am using OS X 10.8.2 and it is working as a (Bonjour) printer. My Epson RX580 is plugged into my AirPort Extreme and I can print over my wireless network to the RX580. However, I do not see any Scan options with this setup.
Anyone know anything about getting the scanning portion of the RX580 to work over the network like the printing function does with my Airport Extreme? Or can I not "share" a scanner over the USB port on the Airport Extreme? I know, kind on topic/off topic - but I think it fits under OS questions better.
Thanks for your advice!

Does Mountain Lion support trim for SSDs? ...

I've been reading various forum posts and I find conflicting info. I did se several references to a tool called 'trim enabler.'
I have a late 2012 Mac Mini with Mountain Lion and installed a Samsung 830 SSD.
System Report shows that trim is not enabled for the drive. Does Mountain Lion support trim for these drives? How important is it to enable it?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Apple does not support the 3rd party drives. To enable it (without installing another software package), you can visit the website:
http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/
I ran the series of commands on my Mac Pro and it did enable TRIM.
the webpage even has a backup/back-out procedure.
Without TRIM, my computer was running extremely slowly. After enabling TRIM, my computer ran substancially faster.

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

Does Mountain Lion support Windows XP?

I have a macbookair running snow leopard and VMware fusion 3which runs Windows XP, If I upgrade to Mountain Lion will XP be supported?

The issue for you is not whether XP is supported but rather is your version of Fusion supported. Go to the Fusion site and ensure your version will work with Mountain Lion. If it will you are all set. If it won't, upgrade to a version that will work or switch to another VM that will work with Mountain Lion. Once your VM works XP will work.
If you are planning to install XP using Boot Camp rather than in a VM like Fusion, Parallels, or VirtualBox, then XP won't work with Mountain Lion.

Does Mountain Lion support Word 2008?

Does Mountain Lion support MicroSoft Word 2008?

I had completely uninstalled Office '08 on my old computer running Snow Leopard and had already made the switch to Office '11 when I got my new MBP with Lion. Since I used Setup Assistant, everything migrated well and I've had no trouble with ML and '11.
However, if you visit the MS Office for Mac user forums you will note that many users of '08 - and Word '08 in particular - are/were having problems with Lion and, now, with ML. I would suggest that your wife just customize '11 to her liking - shortcuts can always be modified (well, most of the time).
There are instructions on how to completely uninstall '08 here.
