"Today at Apple's iPhone launch keynote, its CEO Tim Cook announced that the company has sold more than 7 \u00A0million copies of Mountain Lion, more than doubling its tally since announcing 3 million downloads on July 30.\r\n\r\nWe already knew that the operating system was the most successful OS X release in Apple\u2019s history, hitting the Mac App Store in in the last week of July. Last year, Apple\u00A0announced\u00A0it had served one million downloads of the previous iteration, OS X Lion, in 24 hours.\r\n\r\nMountain Lion is a $19.99 download from the Mac App Store and has not been offered as a physical release, expect if users requested a USB copy of the download.\r\n\r\nWhen it launches, some users took advantage of a program that allows recently purchased Macs to grab a the update for free. That scheme didn\u2019t go entirely to plan at first though, with some customers reporting\u00A0\u2018Code Has Been Used\u2019 errors\u00A0when trying to redeem their free download.\r\n\r\nApple soon rectified this by issuing new codes, which may or may not have been included in today's figures.\r\n\r\nA host of live blogs of today's event including GDGT, The Verge, Engadget and Macworld are available.\r\n\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
