I wish it was released soon. There is always 10.9.1 to pick up the pieces later if 10.9 isn't perfect.
It needs to be as refined as 10.6 was.

I was referring 10.8.5 breaking the sleep function for many people, NOT the Mavericks Developer Preview (i.e. someone said they hope 10.9 fixes the sleep problem that 10.8.5 BROKE).
It's not Apple's job to make sure other's software works. They change the OS to how they want, then others fix their software to work with it. It's the same with Windows, so don't get your panties in a wad.
Could you be any more incorrect? One of the things people use to criticize Windows is that it uses TOO MUCH legacy code and is, in essence, TOO backward-compatible. That's the exact opposite of what you just said.
It ****ing is! That's exactly where you are dead wrong!
That's apparently what Apple does - and is free to do so - but apparently you are not in the software engineering domain (well, you're just a fanboi, aren't you... what the **** do you know... it "just works for you"): otherwise you'd known about the importance of keeping the API and semantics thereof stable! Just as on Windows (which is sometimes even infamous for keeping backwards compatibility).

Developer Preview 8 includes an updated version of iTunes 11.1 that adds an option to turn off song change notifications.

Any problems with browser scrolling? In DP6 and DP7 the scrolling works for a while them stops functioning.

10.6 was a mess when it was released too. Apple has never released a solid version of the OS on the first round.

Apple has seeded the eighth Developer Preview of OS X Mavericks to developers, nearly two weeks after the release of the seventh Developer Preview. Registered developers can receive the update via the Software Update tool in the Mac App Store.
OS X Mavericks, which is expected to be released this fall, includes multiple new features like a tabbed Finder, full screen dual monitor capabilities, Safari improvements, and a new Maps app.
Apple is reportedly targeting a late October launch for OS X Mavericks.
Update: As noted by 9to5Mac, Developer Preview 8 includes an updated version of iTunes 11.1 that adds an option to turn off song change notifications.

So, in other words, NO, Mavericks does NOT support dual-pane and forces users to open multiple windows to do something that should be simpler. After all, OSX is supposed to just work. I've never understood why they make moving files more complex than it needs to be. Once you've used dual-pane in something like Xtrafinder, you NEVER EVER want to go back to the default finder.
Because that are the responsibilities of third party developers. You do not expect the OS platform itself to adapt to all kinds of weird third party app behavior, do you?How is it Microsoft's problem if Apple made incompatible changes in a minor release?
Apple breaks things right and left - and the fans always blame the third parties for Apple's screw-ups.
Actually thats why beta software exists in the first place, to give Microsoft the needed time to adapt its applications before Mavericks is released and avoid users from suffering incompatibilities. Now is the time for Microsoft to sort out problems.I don't think is anybody's fault. Mavericks is just a beta software. Microsoft doesn't need to concentrate on this until Mavericks is finally released.
Maybe 10.9 will fix the sleep problem they introduced in 10.8.5
Does anyone know if Mavericks enables TRIM support for non-Apple SSDs?
Will we still have to rely on TRIM Enabler in the future? It's kind of a dumb, consumer-punishing decision by Apple...

Seems like you knew exactly what he meant.Pardon the question, but how can a wallpaper be 27"....?
I guess you meant the resolution is double of 2560x1440, which with apple mean a 27" monitor?![]()
It needs to be as refined as 10.6 was.
This tops the record for # of developer previews right? Other OSX versions have not had nearly as many developer previews...
Actually we can't. The next one we get will be GM since they need around 3 weeks between GM and the release like Lion and ML.
