OS Mavericks

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... :)

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.

Sigh. I hate having to explain jokes.

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

Is Finder still complete rubbish?

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?

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!

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.

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).
