Apple Gives Developers Access to OS X Mavericks

It baffles me that Apple has waiting until now to add tabs to Finder. Path Finder has been providing that functionality for about five years now, it's been in web browsers much longer than that.

And yet they still report it as revolutionary in the writeup 🙂. Along with Calendar's "fresh new look" that looks exactly like the old look - though it is nice to lose the skeuomorphism! Hopefully Address Book does indeed have a fresh new look ... it has never really had a good one.
 
No matter how much unfinished or beta this is or how I will never be able to pronounce the name right. The most important thing is: Good bye 10.7! No more support for you from my side. I'm glad it's over. 10.6, 10.8 and 10.9 from now on.
 
Hooray for efficiency

From the way this one was being described, it seems like Snow Leopard. The focus was on making the OS more efficient rather than offering new features.

If that's the case, I'm looking forward to it.

I hope this makes my 2008 iMac usable again. Mountain Lion murdered it in terms of performance.

ML seemed like an improvement though when compared to Lion. That OS was terribly slow on my Macbook (Early 2009)...

I think Mavericks, though I somewhat dislike the name, is going to be a great upgrade.

I can't express how glad I am to see this.

How will OpenGL 4 affect the user experience? Will it make the GUI smoother (on a non-Retina Mac)? Does it help gaming, even with older video cards like the 9400M?
 
Mavericks

hardy har, this is what I though of. No flames, it's all in good fun!

I'm leaking the next version name of OS X now. You saw it here first!

It's in the seed note.

Can't believe my old early '08 MBP is still eligible for this. I was certain 10.8 would be the end of the line. Glad to see that's not the case!
 
Does it support 10-bit color graphics output?

It would be really nice to hear a confirmation of one of you testers.
