Early this week I upgraded my 11" MacBook Air (mid-2011) from it's native Lion to Mountain Lion. Here are my observations after four days.

It's the best service pack I've ever paid for!
I just had lunch with an IT colleague, and we talked a little about Mountain Lion. He told me about a member of his IT team that upgraded to Mountain Lion, and whose Mac was subsequently hijacked via Messages! It then began sending inappropriate messages to those in his address book!
