    I've installed it. I see the new apps. I see the distracting new wallpaper. But I can't see anything else different. I think I should ask for my money back.

          Now that is a really great idea. I'm actually willing to pay quite a lot, not to "upgrade" to Win 'ate.

                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. ;P 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.

                    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 :)

                                      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.
