This is interesting. With OS X Mountain Lion, Apple has ditched Software Update as a standalone application, and instead baked its functionality into the Mac App Store’s “Updates” panel. Now if you hit Software Update, the Mac App Store loads and all of the integral software updates are found under a drop-down box under OS X Update.

Will the end use still be able to download the .dmg file separately from the App Store.
Any reason why my App store wouldn’t show this update?
Good.
Do you have “Mountain Lion”?
This isn’t new. The same was done with the Lion preview.
