[iamevilbear]

says item not available in the US store

It's not live yet, it will be soon

 

[Icaras]

Where the hell is it? ARGH

 

[Tankmaze]

mavericks will be free

Woohooo, awesomenesss !!!

 

[clukas]

The link from apples website for the new pages directs to the current version on the mac app store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id409201541?mt=12&ls=1) so does this mean this will be a free upgrade for existing owners?

 

[ELSELS]

Best OS in the world for free..... WOOOWWWW!

 

[Xeronimo74]

Only available in US store??

 

[rdlink]

Fantastic, at last Apple starts following Microsoft in shipping their service packs free!

Wow. What an ignorant statement.

Comparing the feature changes of OS X 10.X upgrades to what are essentially bundled compilations of previous security updates is ludicrous.

 

[Boomish69]

Not in the UK store yet but it is in the US not complaining though, very impressive keynote !

 

[Huracan]

I love Apple

 

[jlblodgett]

Still showing as "Not currently available" in the US store, for me.

Running the latest Snow Leopard (10.6.8? 10.6.9?) is the minimum requirement to run App Store.

Weirdly the betas had a minimum requirement of 10.6.7, which was less than the requirement of ML (which I think was 10.6.8).. It didnt make sense until todays announcement.

Exactly the problem. What is the solution? Mavericks is free, but to get it one still has to install the older versions which are not free. Or will Apple change this?

You can create your own install media (USB), and install fresh if you wish.

I wonder if "Icns Maker" is getting any extra downloads right now.

UK store link

https://itunes.apple.com/app/os-x-mavericks/id675248567?mt=12 for the UK store but not available just yet, obviously Apple haven't hit the go button quite yet.

 

[GP-SE]

still not available in the Canadian Store

 

[rdlink]

Even though I've used the betas and think Mavericks is a great osx release, I still laughed at your comment, brilliant.

Actually, it was an ignorant statement. And it pisses me off when people are allowed to make ignorant statements that perpetuate untruth and don't get called out on it.

Best part of the announcement for me. I will wait a few days however. Let the dust settle a little before I change over my main machine!

 

[WillFisher]

I'm such an impatient kid when it comes to this.

Was preparing to drop around £15 on this, now its free I want it now!

 

[brewno]

Mavericks still not available in the Canadian store. Keeps trying to change it to the US Store...

 

[\-V-/]

Well this is a pleasant surprise.

 

[50548]

BY FAR the best news of the day. Enough said.

 

[SamIchi]

As much as I want I update, I gotta wait to see if it messes with any adobe CS 6 programs. Any beta tester run into any problems?

 

[Lancer]

Free, can't wait to crash the servers trying the DL it!

 

[MonkeySee....]

Come on UK store!!

 

[SuperMatt]

It just goes to a page that says not available. I'm surprised they didn't have this up and working before the keynote, but keep the link hidden until now. Seems like that would be better.

Does this run on the Black Macbooks?
