Stellar writing there. Well done MacRumors.
Considering you've never bought ML and used it on your own mac. I don't think you're in a position to call it "The biggest train wreck in OS X's history". I've been using it since DP1 on my own Macs and it has held up fairly well.
There were far worse bugs in 10.6 when that came out but at the time you were saying "Microsoft is dead".
On the whole, the bugs in ML are relatively minor for a .0 release, and some of them are being fixed in this .1 release. This .1 developer release is the first seed. So again there may be more in the way of bug fixes to come in the next seed.
Your post is quite frankly ridiculous.
