Honestly the new search stuff reminds me of Sherlock from Mac OS 8.5. They never really brought back that functionality until now.
 
Finally, an iDisk replacement with iCloud Drive! It's been hinted at with previous OS X releases, and hopefully can replace Dropbox and other third party app's.

It seems this release includes a lot of features offered by third party app's, "Control Center", "Dropbox", "Box", "Bartender", etc. Hope the Finder has colorful sidebar icons and a refresh. :)
 
It's still only 14%

its clear you don't understand what a percentage is or what we were even talking about if you make such a ridiculous comment.

1: you are comparing a free upgrade for all previous users fo OSx (to mavericks) adoption rate with that of a paid OS.

2: you're comparing an OS with a limited installation base upgrade path % of users upgrading to that of a very widely accepted industry standard platform that runs everythign from back end, to enterprise to consumer.

3: Enterprise users of Windows do not have free reign to update their OS's when they see fit. Nor do they or can they do it whenever they feel like, often times, in Corporate world, updating platforms takes years (and some cases Decades).

4: Apple is more intrusive to the user with regards to actual upgrades of the Operating system. Apple constantly pops up and says "HEY THERS" A NEW VERSION OF OSx!!!!". Windows does not do this.

5: again, back to population; 50% of Apples known users updating to Mavericks equates to approximately 30m (2013 estimates 72m isntall base). Windows 8, even though at 14%, actually equates to 168,000,000 people who have moved (Windows was estimated to be installed to over 1.3Billion devices circa 2012).


Which, given #5, really shows that Tim Cook is purposeluy trying to pick and choose statistics to make Apple seem way more dominant in the cmputer marketplace than they truly are.

Don't get me wrong, 50% adoption of Mavericks is great for the Apple community, but it doesn't, nor can it easily be compared to Windows upgrades like Tim Cook, and yourself wants to believe
 
icloud drive looks epic. also spotlight is gonna replace a lot of Google searches for me.

Does spotlight use Google search engine? If it does not how exactly can it replace Google search. Remember in search the most important part is not on your computer it's on the server.

What is old is new again.

I want to like iCloud Drive but am not digging it like others. 5 GB attachments looks nice on paper though.
 
Gonna need that extra battery life on Netflix for all the buffering you'll be doing in your ISP's new "slow lane". ;)
 
Did he say that? Did anyone else say that?

actually

Apple claims the patent for it (whether or not they invented it is a different matter)

But in a tech doc that Apple gave to Samsung pre-trial, Apple accused them of stealing the patent on transparent items on a solid background
 
markup is neat, nice to be able to edit stuff on the go, especially when it's just minor notations or something
 
Very happy about iCloud drive.

Nothing new so far however.

Everything so far is doing stuff that you can ALREADY do on a Mac, but at least it's being integrated under the Mac's OS.

Positive news I guess. Still hoping for something new and different personally from this presentation.
