Ya thats the same thing I was talking about. The swipe between pages option used to apply to Finder too.
Interested to know what version of Exchange you connect to. DP1 thru 4 were failures for myself with Exchange 2010. Took until DP5 to finally have some stability with Apple Mail. No more crashes for myself.
Yosemite is beautiful. The use of translucency works very well and makes the OS more alive. Try to go back to Mavericks after using Yosemite for a couple of hours and you will get what I mean. I also like the new today view a lot. I never used the dashboard so much and now I disabled it completely. When 3rd party developers start bringing new extensions, the today view will become much more important than ever. The same applies to iOS 8 also. This is a really exciting release, I really love the iPhone/OS X integration, especially the ability to send & receive SMS from your Mac and place calls.
This is really nice stuff.

NopeNot anyone.
You know you're an Apple fanboy when you're find with arbitrarily removing useful features.
Hehe, reminds me of System 6.
Separately; I'm disappointed that window title bars are being cluttered with crap like extra buttons ("Show All") and text entry fields.
People like him find all the little things the res of us don't care about or miss. We need people like him.
Remember the time Steve Jobs was pissed about the wrong shade of yellow?
I have just notice that we can now drag to move/copy between any native in-app file chooser dialog and Finder. Kind of like Windows' file chooser dialog. Drag to set target is still there if we drag to drop-down menu. It is sure more convenient, hoping that they just don't forget about their handy proxy icon in newer apps.
count me in?

I hate these type of replies.
There are a lot of users being pushed away from OS X as they don't like the direction it's going and people like you seem to brush it off like it doesn't matter. The people moving away from OS X are not casual users. Like that guy said above, he had been a Mac users since the very start! Apple and Mac enthusiasts in general should not be so dismissive when people question Apple's direction.

Jobs was a businessman & cared about money and pleasing the shareholders. With hardware, the vast majority of Apple's revenue comes from iOS devices. You can bet your life Jobs would have ensured OS X went hand-in-hand with iOS, probably even more so that it is now. I would say Apple are being very conservative with a lot of their ideas & new features. The iOS look & feel to OS X could have been a lot more forceful if he was still around.
I am surprised that someone can decide to sale the iMac and to by a windows bases PC box just because of some "ugly" shadow on some icons.... ridiculous! !! The main difference between windows based and os based machines are the root principles and programing. Does not matter the shadows and the size of the icons... If someone needs a computer , he will chose it based on the performance and capability to do and run some apps. This is not a jewellery, the looks is not the main factor of choosing the right PC. ..
Lots of people did a better job, especially when it comes to icons. Many of those better jobs took a rather short amount of time, a one-person team and did not have a practically unlimited budget. Thing is, as soon as one of those better jobs is posted, you guys are going to immediately dismiss it as worse.
Look, I like Yosemite and all, but there's plenty of stuff in iOS 7 and Yosemite that goes against usability studies, some stuff that was clearly the whim of some employee and Apple is too arrogant to retcon (Game Center icon, anyone?) and then some more stuff that's just plain sloppy. Yosemite and iOS 7 get a lot of things right, but there is a very large room for improvement.
, That worked fine in DP4... way to break it...I stopped reading your post when I saw the word "icons".
The guy said "Yosemite is ugly as hell has to be the worst look and feel of all the OS".
YOSEMITE, not bloody icons.
I'll rephrase what I said. I'd LOVE to see you do a better job redesigning a operating system.
People are not buying macs because of their performance and capability. You can get a cheaper machine with better performance specs. People buy macs because of Apple's attention to detail and build quality. The shadows and the size of icons are small things that add up to a good or bad user experience.
