It also includes support for storing [[iWork]] documents in [[iCloud]]. 2 GB of memory is required.<ref> {{cite web| title=Apple β OS X Mountain Lion β The world's most advanced desktop operating system.| url=https://www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/| date=February 16, 2012| access-date=February 16, 2012| publisher=[[Apple Inc.|Apple]]| url-status=live| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120216192032/http://www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/| archive-date=February 16, 2012}}</ref> Application pop-ups are now concentrated on the corner of the screen, and the Center itself is pulled from the right side of the screen.
