Apple Will Release OS X Mavericks Today as Free Download

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.

Spoken like a true fan boy.

Be gentle with the MSFT devotees. This hasn't been a good week for them. Mavericks makes Windows 8 look like it was designed by someone who assumes the whole world will be using it on a Surface tablet; and on top of that they just realised that the new Surface itself looks like a boat anchor next to the new iPad. Not to mention, they were really really really hoping that Apple would start selling a keyboard cover so they could say that MSFT did something first, for once.

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?

I had zero problems running After Effects CS6 in 10.9

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

If ignorance is bliss, you're most likely the most blissful person in the world.

I'm using the GM with Photoshop CS6. no issues.

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

Use the Canadian link to eliminate the US store change pop-up, still tells you it is not available in our store though when you click on the upgrade now link.

Who's going to have some of the busiest servers in the world soon?

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.

Oh I agree. But maybe Im just too giddy at the moment with the great announcements, that I thought it was hilarious never the less (for the troll attempt it is). Like the other guy said, theres always one.

Where is it?!!! I NEED IT NOW!

My question: The keynote says that "If you're back on Snow Leopard (10.6), it's free".

My old school iMac, 2.16 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB 667 MHz DDR 2 sdram, running Lion (10.7) could not handle Mountain Lion. It would not even allow me to download it. An older machine running Snow Leopard would CERTAINLY not be able to run Mountain Lion.

What is the point of saying you could upgrade from Snow Leopard for free, if those machines are not powerful enough to run Mavericks? UNLESS, Mavericks can run on the older machines that Mountain Lion could not run on...

Any thoughts?

its a lighter software that will work better anwyays but i think the point is that previously you needed the mac app store to update to newer revisions, they are saying that 10.6 is the minimum (the first with mac app store i think)

A Apple software for free? Now that is shocking.


Now the important question, is it safe to upgrade it or are there glitches?

 

[jesaja]

It's already available there, guys

 

[castlema]

Apple is Doomed!

 

[jmh600cbr]

someone that already has GM

[rwilliams]

I was hoping for an iOS update today to coincide with the release of Mavericks. It would be nice to have the travel time feature in Mavericks' Calendar in the iOS Calendar.

 

[thormarketing]

My Macbook Pro mid 2010 came with Snow Leopard. It is now running Mountain Lion well. My friend's iMac with 4GB 667MHz DDR 2 Ram runs ML well too.
