iCloud
DP2 - I'm having serious problems with the iCloud pane in System Preferences continually freezing whilst I try to update my recovery phone number. A white window just hangs and I end up having to force quit Sys Pref each time . . .
Annoying.

Because Windows 8 is a perfect example of what happens when a company wants to do a complete overhaul of their os, so pointing out windows 8 is perfect in your little rant. His integrity is perfectly fine. Windows 8 is ridiculously annoying to use and simply non-functional with a mouse/keyboard. That leaves you with tablets, which currently lack the power and battery life to properly run it. Thereby making it a useless OS that nobody wants. The direction of change is simply premature. Why couldn't they have waited 4 more yrs? What would you have Apple do with osx?
Safari still at 7.0...
Isn't Safari running a separate seed test on it's own? I could be mistaken...
Hold the power button until you force shutdown and then restart. Worked for me, haven't noticed any problems yet but I might do a reinstall today just in case.
Are you willing to wait it out? When I updated to Mavericks, it took about ten minutes to get the last "less than a minute" done.
Or you could do the thing with the power button that somebody else mentioned.
just reboot mine did the same thing.., then shortly after that setup assistant will crash, move on.
Anyone else notice how you can move the Devices category to the top of the Finder sidebar to resemble Snow Leopard? Just drag and drop!
Creating an OS which runs on both mobile devices (small screen, touch input) and laptops and desktops (large screens, keyboard and mouse input) is a terrible way to move forward. The user experience is severely compromised in both use cases and it is confusing and hard to develop for.
Windows 8 is the perfect example of why this is not the correct approach and why I hope and pray they don't destroy OS X by cobbling it together with iOS, producing a similar Franken-OS.
Yep, glad you just told us.
As for Mavericks, I installed it over an existing ML System, plenty of issues here, Spotlight continuously crashes on the first DP, now it won't but nothing happens when I click on the Icon nor does the keyboard shortcut work.
Mail opens but there are no windows, won't show up even when trying to do so from Menu, this is not the only one, EasyFind has the same behaviour and I guess more Apps behave the same.
Safari does not seem to render well, this was on DP 1, did not have issues after update to DP2.
Apple Remote Desktop works but once in a while I get black spots on the display, this goes away by dragging a window over it.
There are probably more but can't think of them now.
Used it on a laptop, the fact that that laptop had no trackpad made it ten times more annoying.
You can't have used Windows 8 if you truly honestly believe that.
Progress isn't always good.
Here is a well considered critique of the Windows 8 UX:

Awesome. Bitching about someone bitching.
That's some crazy apple inception right there.
Get over yourself.
No trackpad so you were just using the keyboard? Your quote said it is unusable with a mouse/keyboard, how would you know if you didn't try it?
I would imagine using ANY OS on a laptop with no trackpad to be annoying. But using windows 8 with a simple start menu replacement app makes it nothing more than an optimized windows 7, which suits me and a majority of other people just fine.
Just because you used it for 5 seconds on an odd piece of hardware (seriously what laptop has no trackpad?) doesn't make the entire OS "unusable with a mouse/keyboard"
By trackpad i mean one that clicks down no matter where u click it as opposed to two buttons on the bottom. It might suit you to do that but given all the complaints i've been hearing from everywhere I doubt the majority would agree. Also, I love your assumption that I used it for 5 minutes. I guess dissenting opinions simply are not allowed to exist just because you don't agree. I used it for a good 3-4 months before getting my macbook.

I totally agree I rather OS X Mavericks to be like SL, which was very stable than have it be like OS X Lion and have a lot of new features but was never as stable as SL. Just my two cents

Yes It works with OS X 10.9.
Restarted, both issues fixed. However, I can't get iCloud Keychain to autofill on my devices. Doesn't sync, although I enabled it on both my iPhone and iPad.
Even if it does you should not use this or any similar App, like MacKeeper and CCleaner, they are all rubbish and you should trash them ASAP.
Plenty of reported problems with these 3 Apps, if you have to use one use Onyx, but only when having problems.
