Hi, Good luck with your update! I'm only familiar with Lion, so don't know all the differences, but I'd be glad to help if I can. Some of the biggest things probably are the new messages app, that will replace iChat, and also iOs-type Notification center. The upgrade process itself should be smooth, but just in case, back up your system before you do it.
There are some little changes in app names, because Apple is trying to bring MacOs closer to iOs. For example, iCal is no longer iCal, but calendar. Address book is now contacts. That sort of stuff. Then there is this new menu thing, that allows us to access things that weren't so easily accessible before -- like Dropbox menu. So after you update, there will be menu called "Extras. You get there by pressing vo+m twice. You move through extras by pressing vo+arrow keys and when you find the menu you want to choose, press vo+space to open it. Some people on MacVisionaries mailing list complain, that spotlight menu can no longer pe accessed by vo+triple m, but it can still be found through the extras. I know there are people on this list who know a lot more about this than I do, but this was my two cents. Personally I love mountain lion, especially the possibility to send iMessages from my Mac and then the new dictation function. Good luck!
