Didn't I read somewhere that Apple was doing a great scene about this upgrade being free?
In my head popped up the idea that if it was so crappy and feature poor that they thought it would be better just to give it away and make a show out of it

Aren't there tabs in Finder?

Actually you're right - I should have mentioned that.

Just installed it myself - did you not get the new Map and iBook icon on your desktop too?
I hope the map is better because the ad bumph suggests you can plan a route on the desktop and send it to your phone for turn-by-turn spoken instructions.
if that works I will love it!

Yeah - can't see I'll be reading many books on the iMac, and the Maps are the same as on the iPad (but do look nice on a 27" monitor).

Think different Chris!
Maybe you paid so that the OS doesn't change!!!
|
|
|
|
|
Now that is a really great idea.
I'm actually willing to pay quite a lot, not to "upgrade" to Win 'ate.

You paid for it really? You should have got the original one from the iTunes Store, its FREE!

I think they copied it from Windows 8.1.

You paid money without knowing what's going to be new. Methinks you totally deserve it.

A lot of them were inflated (a lot) and promoted to features just to allow that big fat +200 on top...
|
|
|
|
|
Features for China... Those are really a lots of features I'm using on a daily basis
|
|
|
|

Sure, many are overblown, but there are some really good features there. I saw the demos this summer with multi-displays, Finder & Safari improvements - all impressive improvements. In many ways I prefer the latest Mac OS UI to the stagnating & de-emphasized Windows desktop. Wish Microsoft would give the Windows desktop similar attention.

My original post was tongue-in-check, but I am disappointed that MacOS seems to be years behind other OSs. Multiscreen support, for instance, really shouldn't be something to crow about. Not in 2013.
Regardless, I still love my Macs and my iPads, but I also still love my Ultrabooks and my servers.

Huh? It didn't have multi-screen support before?
The Mac II (or some version way back then) had that. Did it get lost along the way?

Multi-screen support has been there for ever - what they stuffed up was when they added "full screen" applications - thee take over the whole screen 9as te name suggests) BUT they only took over one screen in a multi-screen set up- disabling all the other screens!. now you can have full screen apps on each of your multiple screens.

Doesn't look like anything new to me...
Was the same some years back when they announced the copy/paste on iPhone
One thing Windows could actually have natively is the multi-desktop and the independent toolbars but anyway, the multi-desktop can be achieved with many free and payed softwares and I use DisplayFusion for years now to properly manage the toolbars across my monitors.
So... yet again... +200 shiny new things?
I mean, I'm no Apple hater, and I currently use whatever lands in front of me, but we need to admit that one thing Apple always got better that anyone else was marketing!

They went back to the drawing board. And after their talented team worked really hard, they have revolutionize the whole naming convention system. And now it is no longer named after a member of a Cat Family. Now they are after awesome "surfing" locations.
Which is the only reason I use my costly apple computer for. And they kept the promise of, not to change that. I say it's worth every penny.
OK, now the serious question, did you see any noticeable change in battery life? they have added some new algorithms to improve battery life. Since my older Macbook Air doesn't have Haswell chip, I am going to upgrade it just to get extra battery life.

200+ new features.
Facebook events
When friends invite you to events on Facebook, the invitations appear in Calendar. So, adding a FB-plugin to the calender is a change to the Operating System?

Does it count if the calendar buttons have a new glossy iGlossy finish?

Aren't AppNap, compressed memory and timer coalescing new to Mavericks?
And isn't it a free upgrade?

Yep. They are great under-the-hood technologies.
But I want something shiny I can point at
