So going forward, new OS X versions will be named after places named after dogs?
Actually, they will be named after places named after dogs named after TV shows starring James Garner......
Glad you cleared that up! Just because you don't think iOS 7 is ugly doesn't mean it isn't. It needs some serious work. Way too much white. A lot of the icons are trash. Messages looks terrible.
I must have missed the part where it was a finished product already. What we've seen is a preview, a sign of things to come. It's not the end of the journey.
The plain notes and calendars make me sad
Can't we get a little colour? It's the same with Google Docs; so plain. What was wrong with the old notes and calendars?
What are you talking about? The calendar is full of colours, look at the days. The only colorless parts are the ones that don't need to be emphasized, because they carry no information. I think this is the good direction.
BTW in my opinion the ugliest part of ML that needs to be changed is Reminders. Just look at it... actually, it is so ugly, that I never use it only because it's freakin ugly.
You need your brain examined. As we know now icons were created by marketing team. I won't be surprised if Ive denies his responsibility. It's so hard to acknowledge your own mistakes.

OK, my mistake there then. I was replying from what others had said about their installs on MBA's.
So you are basically saying I'm not entitled having an opinion different to others and disagree with people's comments? I paid my money, I can express my opinion. You don't have to listen to it nor even read it.
BTW I was just pointing out some great features that you seemed to miss. Sorry if I was too harsh for you.

They don't sell. People complain. The old notes and calendars look old. People want a fresh new look once in a while. But I agree there should be more colors on iOS 7.
Yesterday I took the risk and installed 10.9 DP1 over 10.8. Luckily NO issues, except of some applications and plugins couldn't run. It surprises me that almost everything works fine so far, even my giant Mailbox. Sure, many bugs here and there. One is really annoying: scrolling through the left mailbox-bar in Mail is almost impossible. Every time you scroll down, it gets up again. But it's a beta, right?
And tags aren't working. Clicking them on the Finders sidebar gives an Internal Error. Is it just me? Tagging was my reason for the installation!
FINALLY no stupid leather and paper in Contacts, Notes and Calendar! Love it!
I did the installation just because I have two hard drives, one for the OS, the other one for all my files and the home folder. Else I would never risk that.
That is a great idea.I would love to be able to run Descent in a VM. Uh or I mean that prepress app that only ran on 680xx chips.
I bet a lot of us old coots have boxes of our old Apple software in an attic or basement. Not to mention a "legacy" data that we need to pull up in case of an auditor.

I regularly connect the external superdrive, perhaps that was the trigger for it to show?
The earlier machine supported a max RAM of 3GB, the later machine 4GB.
This suggests that the Northbridge and memory controller changed.
Also different GPU (NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT instead of the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600)
- It may be that Mavericks requires 4GB (though my guess is that that's not it; Apple was selling 2GB MBAs until recently).
- It may be that Apple just doesn't want the OS having to bother with the older chipset (more likely).
- It may be that the issue is the GPU. X1600 was not supposed to be supported as part of ML, and if it was that appears to be luck on your part. (most likely)

Airdrop requires specific WiFi HW to work because it operates even without a base station present --- that's kinda the point, that it works anywhere.
Airdrop on Macs is exactly the same --- it doesn't work on all Macs, only newer ones which have the appropriate WiFi HW.
----------
That's has Intel GMA X3100 graphics.
The cleanup of Mountain Lion officially dropped machines without UEFI-64 and with older graphics cards. People have hacked ML to run on these machines.
This may or may not mean you could do the same with 10.9. However with each new rev Apple is going to be more aggressive in using HW features guaranteed by the HW specs, without testing for bad compatibility. They may well, for example, just naturally use throughout the UI some OpenGL features which are not supported. The GMA X3100 only supports up to OpenGL 2.0.
----------
For crying out loud. None of this is secret. AirPlay requires SandyBridge or later because it is using SB to encode the video.
No-one is claiming there aren't other ways to do it. But Apple isn't interested in wasting engineer time figuring out three ways to do the same thing. They choose one way, the way that makes sense going forward, and use the rest of the time for other purposes.
What are you complaining about? You have an alternative, and Apple has ALWAYS been this way --- it's not like this is anything new. You will be able to use large parts of the new stuff in 10.9 --- but you'd rather be unhappy about the 5% of new stuff that you can't use?
Mid versus Late 2007 17-inch MBP:
Neither of these is true. The Mid 2007 17-inch supports 4GB and has the 8600M GPU. It looks like you're thinking of the Late 2006 models. The Mid and Late 2007 MBPs are practically identical. I have since received confirmation that the Mid 2007 17-inch MBP can boot the 10.9 DP release.
Revised Safari
I wonder if Apple will finally figure out a way to squash the dreaded "Webpages not responding...force reload all pages" bug that has been a part of it since version 5.1. I can't believe it's hung around this long. Not seen it? Usually it happens if you like to use a lot of tabs and keep open windows in the Dock.

Interesting I was thinking about the same thing last night. I feel that being the head of the HI Team, approving something makes him just as much responsible.
I know this thread is a tad old, but my battery life on my 11.6" MBA has increased by about an hour and a half running Mavericks. I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but when you consider it's only imbedded software that's utilizing the resources more efficiently, and it's a Beta software, that's pretty amazing. I'm also running iOS 7, and for my own personal experience, it's running great (knock on wood!). Anyways, thought I'd share my two cents. I do know that in OS X Mav, in the Maps app, I am not currently able to upload driving directions to my iPhone. The developer seed info stated that some users wouldn't be able too, so I'll try that feature later!!
I've tried it for two days, and so far, here's what I noticed:
- Safari seems to hang for a second whenever you open a link on a new tab
- Skype started crashing when starting a conversation, after updating to the most recent version
- Battery seems to have increased a full hour, from 3:30h to 4:30h
- iBooks is nowhere to be seen
- Maps works pretty well
- Overall performance seems faster, especially opening Mission Control

That is true. I'm running Lion right now on this MacBook 3,1 with 4GB RAM and it sucks. Will go back to SL IF I can't upgrade to Mavericks. I couldn't install Mountain Lion, so I won't probably be able to do so with Mavericks without some hacking. Will try this out in a few weeks with the Beta version that is floating around.
From all I could see, Mavericks is even lighter than ML, so it should work ok with my old MacBook IF it supports OpenGL 2.0 system wide too. Will have to test it myself or wait for others feedback (if you could point me some threads, that would be great).
Thanks for the input.
Lemonade Stand and Zork for all!

If you can't run ML you won't run Mavericks...

I might, just like some others managed to get ML working: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1404548/
The question is: is it worth it? Will I get a better (responsive) system with this "hacked" Mavericks, or should I just go back to SL?
Sorry guys i must be dumb, but the new dock looks IDENTICAL to the ML dock? How is it different appearance wise?
