+4Hello,
I'm just wondering if it's safe/possible to use the recently released GM Seed of Mountain Lion as a base image?
My biggest concern is not being able to apply updates going forward. We will be purchasing a volume license upon release.
Has anyone done this before with a previous OS X release?

Possible yes, but safe it is not. Like mm2270 says they can always make a tweak to the public release. This is especially true now that they don't have to ship new disks and the OS comes from the app store.
I'd use the GM release to QA your workflow, and then drop in the public release InstallESD to rebuild your image and verify everything is OK.
+36You may recall that Apple's build number for its developer GM of Lion didn't match its build number from the Mac App Store.
We tested every Lion seed, including the GM version. The version released to the public matched the GM version. Are we sure we're not confusing GM release with model-specific builds? :)
...I think the way to settle this is to bet 1 physical beer, payable at JNUC. :D
+36I just recall the discussions and the mild uproar on the tubes. I didn't participate.
Love how you stipulate "physical beer" like faxing's not good enough. ;-)
