Apple Seeds New 13A598 Build of Mavericks to AppleSeed Members
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
My personal reasons are:
- Removed the skeuomorphic design elements
- improved battery life (timer coalescing, improved HD playback).
- Native OS filesystem Tags
- icloud keychain
I think they have borrowed this craziness from microsoft.
Remember the windows 7 beta desktop picture?
It had the betta fish blowing 7 bubbles:
Looks like my point passed right over you. If you haven't tried it, don't judge, and that means reading or seeing without actually using it. Comprende? Good.
You may very well be correct in that assumption. An even though right now I can't imagine that to be a satisfactory experience on desktops, I trust Apple to do this right, or not do it at all.
You might say I'm not a nay-sayer, but I'm holding my breath though.
it did not pass right over me.
i said i dont anticipate getting it. "not excited" were the words i used.
i didnt say it was garbage.
had i said i'll be getting it the minute it releases even without trying it count as judging as well?
y si, comprendo que no entendés un carajo de lo que quise decir. o no querés entender
You have to admit 10.9 has shaped out to be an overdue focus on power and stability.
- OpenGL 4.0+ Support (Finally!) - most likely due to the AMD FirePro graphics in the new Mac Pro pushing OpenGL dependency
- Multiple Displays - Always used at least 2 with my Mac Pro, we (editors, designer, professionals) have needed this addressed for a while (GREAT to have the Dock appear on the active display and the MenuBar across all)
- Improved Memory Management
- Wireless Protocol(s) Improvement(s)
- Better Enterprise Support (and other accounts)
- iCloud Features:
- Keychain Syncing returns(ed)
- Document "DropBox" syncing seems on the horizon once everything is released
- Photosharing and Streaming improvements
- iWork for iCloud revamped for cross platform support
- Maps - Send directions in OS X via email/MMS to friends/family on the road
- Time Machine - Improved data purging, addressing occasional "backup disk full" errors
There's quite a bit more.I would consider 10.9 to be the "Snow Leopard" for both 10.7 and 10.8. Now just combine FaceTime and Messages into one app, and bring back the 10.5 Leopard beta iChat "Answering Machine" feature into Messages for video away messages (and a new Mac Pro)

It burns my eyes

The send to iPhone feature for maps means I don't have to walk to the station to meet friends any more! YAY
i'm wondering with some of the new under the hood inclusions and more support for MDM and whatnot if OS X Server will be an element of Mavericks instead of a separate app perse and it will be an all-in-one type OS.
Did the devs get a different build number? Up until now both groups have got all the same builds, just sometimes a slight delay between the two.
One thing for sure with me is, Im going to wait for reviews to come in on maverick before I upgrade, Im not happy with ios 7 so I am going to be very suspicious before I upgrade anything from here on in.
Why should I upgrade to Mavericks?
Just trying to understand why I should upgrade to Mavericks. As far as I can see, Finder with tabs is interesting but beyond that, why would someone upgrade? What, in your opinion, are top 3 - 5 reasons to consider this upgrade?
Not trolling or looking for flames, just people's opinions on why or why not to upgrade from 10.8.4?
thanks!

Oh man, I almost forgot about that. Even when I stopped using W7 Beta, I still liked having that as my background. I may need to set that as my desktop at work for old time's sake.
