He's referring to the already-limiting Gatekeeper. With OS 11, you can now only install apps made by Apple by default, and only from the App Store.

OS X Mavs is not perfect yet, but still every DP has been better than Windows 8.
Disagree If you mean in terms of stability. Windows 8 & the Windows 8.1 preview were extremely stable, I used it as primary OS for a while.
I concur, I ran the Consumer Preview and have the RTM now on my main machine at work and its stable, no problems with. With the release of Windows 7 beta, Microsoft started really producing very stable releases of Windows from the get go.
On the other side, OS X seems to have always been a buggy product, in beta and GM releases. The last two releases have pretty much suggested it has gotten even worst. The last stable release which I see a lot of people still run is 10.6, prior to that it was 10.4 then 10.3.
There were 4 DP's but they were released monthly, not every 2 weeks. So Mavericks would need 8 DP's to get the same amount of testing before GM.
This release is very close to GM I think. Enhanced dictation now works (as already mentioned here) and Airplay issue has also been solved. Of course this is not the GM but Apple is making progress with Mavericks.
I think (just a wild guess) we may see a final release in October.
Maybe they might mention it in the September 10th event...then again its an iPhone event...so that might be out of the question.
Mail preferences
Hi first time posting!
Is anyone else having trouble with mail not saving the 'mailbox behaviors' for gmail? I uncheck the first two boxes to disable drafts from being saved, save the settings and then when I restart the software everything reverts.
Any ideas?

Does anyone know if the swiping back through pages has been fixed or does it still crash the tab?
There is a change in version. DP6 was build 140 and DP7 is build 152. As far as behavior, the only thing I noticed is the parental tab in the Preferences panes now actually works, so you can unlock it and disable the iBooks Store if you like (before the lock would stay locked, so that seems fixed). Other than that no other changes in behavior. But there were some slight bug fixes. Preview is working smoother with iBooks now, although PDFs still won't load properly upon reboot if they were in full screen. You will get an annoying file permission error, but at least it's no longer crashing Preview.

No, you can't or at least: I can't
I can't either and there is no option to go full-screen, nor does the standard command-f do anything so I think the poster must have been simply wrong.
Is this the size of the entire package or just the update? I'd like to see Apple focusing on slimming down the OS rather than bloating it like Microsoft OEMs seem to do.

Maybe he's making some comment that Mac users are an island unto themselves.
Safari crashes without fail trying to load shared links since dp5. Not expecting to see that fixed in DP7.
It was mentioned a few pages back. A LOT of people have seen it.
----------
Never crashed for me.
Really? And where is that option?
Still bugs me that they haven't updated the UI yet. Hopefully this will be in the GM.

Won't that require an update to iTunes?

First post!
Anywho... Don't get me started on the horrible clash of user interfaces that is Windows 8... Windows 7 is the new Snow Leopard.
All reasonable. Final release in the second half of October with some of the new Macs. They could mention it at the September 10th event. Maybe announce a shipping date.
Or Mavericks is coming out much later and the shipping date will be announced at the next event which is probably going to be the iPad event in October/November.
i am seeing download speeds of 1-5 kb for dp7!! i tested my connection and easily getting 400-500 KB/s but dp7 says time to cmpletion 12 hours! i've always been able to update and get fast speeds within minutes or hours of updates but this is just ridiculous.
