With OS X Mountain Lion set to launch to the public sometime next month, 9to5Mac reports that Apple has asked select members of its retail store staff to begin testing the software.
In
an e-mail to Apple Store Genius Bar members and Creatives, Apple has
provided access to its OS X Mountain Lion AppleSeed testing program…
This testing is to be done on personal Macs belonging to employees, and is not standardized in-store OS X Mountain Lion training.

Not only
will the program provide additional testers for Apple as it expands
beyond registered Mac developers, but it will also give retail store
staff a head start on gaining familiarity with the forthcoming operating
system before formal training begins.
Apple is almost certainly wrapping up work on OS X Mountain Lion, if it
hasn't completed it already, with the company issuing a "near-final"
build to developers at its Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this
month. With OS X Mountain Lion being a Mac App Store exclusive, Apple
can continue to work on the operating system until relatively close to
the launch date given that it does not need to build in time for
pressing millions of DVDs, but the company will want some time to ensure
that the golden master build is behaving properly before it is released
to the public.
