OS Mavericks

I think they copied it from Windows 8.1. :-D

you funny guy - nobody pays back wasted time :rolleyes:

is this a signature ?

[Mark_Wallace]

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

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

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.

I presumed it was Windows 8.1.

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 :)

[AlexCode]

A lot of them were inflated (a lot) and promoted to features just to allow that big fat +200 on top... :)

[Nicholas Marty]

Features for China... Those are really a lots of features I'm using on a daily basis :rolleyes:

Maybe there should be an Apple icon for the Message Type so those of us not in the cult can ignore.

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? :rolleyes:

Why settle for one when ~100 will do?                                                                                          X| X| X| X| X|                         X| X| X| X| X| X|                             X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|               X| X|                             X| X|               X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|           X|                                                X|      X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|      X|                                                     X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|      X|               X|      X|                    X| X| X| X| X| X|                    &nbs

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

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.

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

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

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.
