Actually it's Spanish for "The Captain".
Yup, Windows 7. But it's nice to meet a Windows 8 user
(I kid, I use 8.1 alongside OS X Yosemite)I'm french...do you know how stupid the name sound. We've laughing for hours now with friends about the new name.
As for the OS, not many new functions or innovations, disappointed about the lack of a side widget column, but if they manage to really make the "Snow Leopard" of Yosemite then why not, otherwise not upgrading any of my machines and advising against it seeing how Yosemite destroyed so many of my colleagues and friends Macs...

You don't see the difference? Apple went from os9 to osx and stayed there. Windows did not stop on 7 for example and stay there.
It's just a name...
It certainly makes you want to say it with a bit of flair though!
Whatever...I was looking for more of a marketing concept so to speak...just me I guess. What would be next year...Yosemite Creek or Yosemite Campgrounds. To me a little more imagination was in order for today. The new version is what it is all about and at the end of the day and I am confident in getting a good product. I am doing the beta program and will know soon.
Yosemite "DESTROYED" so many of your friend's Macs? Hmm.....just glossing over your profile as you just recently registered here....and you post something like this. Not surprising.
On another note, I could've, would've and almost did post something about the French's silly sounding language. There are tons of words in french that sound ridiculous, but I like to keep it classy and not laugh at another country's native lingo and historical landmarks.
Thinking back at Vista.....Transparent Window borders. Wait a minute, isn't that Mac OS X back in 2001? lol
Oh, what a funny post. If you truly think you can hide from the web and what you're doing on your computer, you're sadly misguided. The moment you connected your computer to the internet......and posted here.....Nuff Said.
Spotlight is far better with more options to get information outside of what's on the hard drive.
It's actually Oh Ess Ten...from the roman numeral 10 which is an "X". Before OS X was OS 9, then OS 8, then System 7.
OS X is now a brand more than a version number. I don't think we will see OS XI whilst it is still based on Darwin - it will require a major kernel or core OS change, but thats unlikely for at least a decade.
Wow. Totally ripped off Aero Snap from Windows Vista (2006) and side by side multitasking is a carbon-copy of the Windows 8 feature.
How times have changed...
Like how Microsoft ripped off transparent Windows that's been on Mac OS X since version 10.1 in 2001.Thanks.
The phrase "Stupid ass" is a bit stupid ass, honestly. ALL asses are stupid, unless you find a posteria or a donkey that has intellectual conversations?
back to thread: I see how MacRumors never seems to be able to drag itself out of the playground, with comments along the lines of "Look how X ripped off Y" - talk about devolving intelligence...
Its a great name! El Cap the greatest wall and greatest climb in the valley.
Well at least Apple has been consistent. Unlike Microsoft that went from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95. Then Windows 98 to Windows XP. Then Vista to Windows 7. Then Windows 8 to Windows 10. Very inconsistent and for no real apparent reason. In fact Windows 10 is the first version of Windows that's numbered correctly since 3.1.
It has been predicted and confirmed that Windows Ten is the last new version of Windows.
Until there is some major paradigm shift in the hardware, don't expect OS X to go anywhere.
As those of us familiar with the rock, or a school with the same name...
You just say "El Cap."
Not any more than your comment ... unless you just don't appreciate our national parks and what they have to offer.
I'd say it's more than a bit too soon to say that Vulkan is dead based on Apple not implementing support in an OS that comes out this fall when the first drivers available to consumers elsewhere probably won't be available until after that. Besides, drivers are being written for both Windows and Linux at the moment and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Apple was at least having a look at Valve's open source reference drivers while preparing to have Vulkan and OpenCL 2.0 drivers in next year's release of OSX.
Apple won't kill ether OpenGL or OpenCL support, or if they do that it'll obviously be with a similar time table to how they killed support for PPC binaries. Too many applications use the two API's. With OpenGL it's not just games that use it, it's heavily used by CAD/CAM, 3D modelling, image editing, graphical design and pretty much any software that involves the user drawing or otherwise creating complex shapes on screen. While some companies may be persuaded to switch to Metal, there's too much invested in software built around OpenGL for us to see a phasing out of OpenGL until maybe 5-6 years down the line.
Is Core Storage still being used? Also, has anyone using the Continuity Tool experienced success with 10.11 thus far?
