As previously announced yesterday during its Q3 2012 earnings call, Apple has officially made Mountain Lion available for download in the Mac App Store for £13.99.

To be clear: there is no OS X Mountain Lion launch delay whatsoever, some physical retail stores will simply be unable to demo it on launch day, as previously planned. It is possible, though, that Apple may fix the issue by...
