MacPro 1,1 can only upgrade to Lion, I know theres a way to unofficially install mLion (it works pretty well for mine) maybe after the official release that method may still work. But i wouldnt count on it.

After "Sea Lion", when they said it was "Mavericks" I thought sure it was yet another joke. But they were actually serious. Yes the name really is that bad, "Sea Lion" is actually way better.
Perhaps 1% of the American public knows that Mavericks is some surf spot in California. I lived for years in the Bay Area and never heard of Mavericks.
If you don't live at the location its named after (id never heard of it until today) it means absolutely nothing to you. 'Mavericks' also sounds stupid. If they are going on locations they should of called it Red LION Pub. Everyone knows a Red Lion Pub. Check out the Desktop:
I'll be calling it 10.9 however.
Tell me about it, although mine is the late 07 model. I was surprised ML was alright.
Be interesting to see how well it runs, could it even run better than ML?
Sure give me a second.

Hello, has someone installed Mavericks on a retina MBP and has set the higher resolution? Is it still laggy in the animations?
Figured it out shortly before you posted it but thanks for the speedy write up!
great! my iMac is still supported! I really love the new Finder, no more windows everywhere. It was so easy! Now is the time to put a an ssd to help system performance..!
everything from appearance to features looked like something else. besides the mac pro which i reserve judgement on
looks like the photocopiers have been started
Instead of honoring large cats, they will start honoring popular well known established locations within California, to honor California as a whole... Putting them on the World map more than they already are. Also, its a great way to bring attention to California and learn more about it. I think its genius.
I was anxious to see this keynote all last week. Now Im dying to know the next nine locations they have planned for the new operating systems.

Yikes, that's actually quite sad to admit. Rather than bashing their choice of the OS name, maybe you should put yourself in check and use this experience as a wake up call to open yourself up a little and learn something new. Not trying to call you out and be a D%*K, but there's no other way of putting it. I only advise this to you because that is exactly what I did with myself lol
To any one who is thinking of getting a torrent of this OS all the DL are branded with your ISP info down to the router and cust no.
so its Caveat Emptor
they are trackable to who dl it from the servers
I do hope they do not charge for this as on face value it looks and feels the same as the last two irritations in the X lineup

If you only want to stream movies to your Apple TV from your "non-AirPlay enabled" Mac, check out Beamer: http://beamer-app.com/
It works on older machines ás well, with superb performance (way better than Airparrot), and is actually much more convenient than mirroring your whole screen. I have an AirPlay capable Mac and still I prefer using this
Yeah I wasn't thrilled about using Maverick, prefered Sea Lion to be honest

Wow haha. I didn't know you guys were actually serious about 'Sea Lion'
Or are you all still joking around? I too am not so pleased with the new name. It's too local-ly for a big worldwide business like Apple. Me on the other side of the earth didn't know *beep* about 'Mavericks'. I only knew a basketball team had that name when I played NBA Jam on Sega Megadrive 2. I looked in the dictionary to find if it had a meaning and I was all "huh?". It also feels weird to say... "Hey I've just installed Mavericks on my iMac!" Ughh...
Why do so many people care what the name is......OSX would be good enough without any extention (iOS does not have an extention as well).
Steve Jobs could be an unbearable prick to work with as well. He had even crazier ideas like painting the production factory so the machines would look good. Read his biography. And he was ousted out of Apple as well.I loved those burns they laid down on skeumorphism. Look, we all are aware of the royal pr!ck that Forstall was. These guys had to work with him, and suffer through his non-sense. Let them vent a little. And besides, those skeumorphic designs were NASTY.
(And no, I'm not suggesting that Forstall will become the new Steve Jobs, nor did I like his skeuopmorphic designs.)
No, but the colors don't do it for me at all. The two previous planetary backgrounds looked better.
Looks like a definite change I will make.
Also, agree with everybody who doesn't like Mavericks. Weak in creativity.
Might as well have called it Schwarzenegger.
my MBP not obsolete yet
Yeah, me too
hope it works better with 4gb ram than mountain lion

don't like the name
Sea Lion was much cleverer, more Apple-ish.
Then it was a joke, and they picked some obscure surfer reference.
Because everyone knows they don't mean wild horses or Tom Cruise's
character in Top Gun or a shoddy Ford auto from the 70's
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Maverick_(Americas)
so it must be the surfer beach near SF because all of us non-surfers
understand esoteric references. Saying we don't appreciate
clever twists like 'Sea Lion', I mean, it's probably the last
version of OSX, right? or is it going to be 10.10 Alcatraz
next year?
After watching the thing yesterday Apple seems to be taking
on some 'fern bar' characteristics...
- don't like the Martha Stewart colors in iOS7. Pastels?
- Didn't like the skinny lettering/numbering motif
on the banners. Fern bar, or even worse: precious.
Probably big Steve warned Tim before the sand ran out:
Look, you have a tendency to sound like Fred Schneider
from the B52's sometimes when you talk. For the love of
god just be sure when you do the presentations to use
your neutral vocal inflections at all times. I don't think
Wall Street would take too well to what the other might
imply... worst case scenario the stock might drop by about
$260 a share. And no pastels, ever.

Please explain your logic because I'm too dense to comprehend it.
Based on your above statement, a Ferrari Modena, for example, is a meaningless name unless you live there?
What if you visited Italy before, does that count?
How about if you did well in Geography in school?
What if you recognize your world is bigger than the bar table you & your friends sit at on weekends?
And what if a word like, say, Mavericks, is both an actual word and a place? Still has no meaning?
Finally, what about all those marketing names, like Haagen Dazs, that are 100% invented?
