Apple first previewed Mountain Lion in February, highlighting many features already present in iOS, including Messages, Reminders, Notes, Notification Center, Game Center and more at that time. At WWDC, Apple announced additional features, including Dictation, iCloud Tabs, and 'Power Nap'.
We previously highlighted this video which shows off many of the new features found in Mountain Lion:

That's a good place to start. Have fun. :)
Seems like we hardly got to know each other :o
Just released, 10.8 GM build.
Downloading as I type .
*Download the installer from the app store.
*Right-click installer -> "Show Package Contents"
*Contents -> Shared Support -> InstallESD.dmg (open it/mount it)
*Open the terminal and copy this command:
*Now open Diskutility and "restore" BaseSystem.dmg to your USB drive.
***PLEASE NOTE THIS REQUIRES YOUR USB HAS A GUID PARTITION TABLE***
[Changing partition table to GUID]
[Restoring the DMG]
*Now open your newly restored USB drive
*System -> Installation
*Delete the link called "Packages" and then create a new folder with the same name
*Open the terminal again and copy this to it:
*Copy everything in this folder to the "Packages" folder you created on your USB.
**Note this stage might take a while**
Hurray you now have a working installer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A note:
This guide may seem different to others you have seen but it works better:
*The standard installer will copy the installation DMG to your hard drive and then re-run the installation using that. i.e you are needlessly running the install twice. My way doesn't do that.
*This installer allows you to clean install
