Apple has begun the process of training its AppleCare staff on OS X Mavericks ahead of an expected late October launch for the updated Mac operating system, reports 9to5Mac.
These sources say that training has begun today, and support staff will be required to learn about the operating system's new features, installation process, and troubleshooting options for at least six hours over the course of the next few weeks.

The training is said to be similar in secrecy and style to the iOS 7 and iTunes Radio training, and it has yet to begin for all AppleCare employees. AppleCare advisors will learn the OS X Mavericks materials in small groups in order to prevent information about the training process from becoming public knowledge.

Publicly, Apple has only stated that OS X Mavericks is "coming this fall", but the company is reportedly targeting a late October launch. The company is also expected to hold a media event as soon as this month where it could not only unveil new iPads but also officially launch the redesigned Mac Pro and perhaps other updated Mac models, offering an opportunity for a Mavericks release announcement there as well depending on timing.

OS X Mavericks has been in developer testing since its introduction at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Eight developer previews have been seeded so far, with the most recent one having been released over two weeks ago.

How crazy would it be if Apple, at the last minute, showed off an OS X redesign to somewhat match iOS 7?

I'm not saying this would necessarily be good or bad, and I don't see it happening, but they did do a similar thing with Leopard (showed the OS early and the new design later).

I also think that it could be done tastefully, kind of like this:

I don't really like those mockups... I hope they don't go that way. But tendency says they will...

I wouldn't hate it.

OSX is looking more stale than iOS was, and now that iOS has been revamped, OSX just looks even worse.

I'm guessing the late October Mavericks launch means that the October Apple event will probably be the 22nd. It's been way too quiet for it to be the 15th. I also wonder if we'll get one more Developer Preview this week?

Hopefully they'll be doing a little more testing on the Mavericks release compared to the iOS7 release ;)

And fingers crossed, Mac Pros and new rMBPs :)

Great, somehow my OS X lion is starting to act up. After a while sound through the thunderbolt stops being fed through to my cinema display and wifi reception is becoming worse.

I'm in need of a clean install and I would prefer to do it with Mavericks..
