    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.

      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 :)

                  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:

                            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.

                                        Is Finder still complete rubbish?

                                          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?
