OS X 10.10 to Feature 'Flatter' Look, but Not as Stark as iOS 7

True, but I think it's hard to argue that iOS 7 was designed with retina in mind. Excluding iOS 7 for the iPad mini and 2 would have been worse than having them look not quite as good. Similarly, Apple won't make an iOS 7-ized OS X only for retina macs.
That said, iCloud.com already looks like iOS 7 so I'm probably wrong.
that isnt obvious at all. as theyve stated before, desktop and mobile are two different use cases, each w/ its own design solution.
Software version numbers are NOT decimal numbers.
Because if they were, 10.9.1 would not work. Also, if that applied, wouldn't 10.10.1 be different than 10.1.1? Of course.
Howzabout fixing 10.9 before we get too caught up in 10.10
10.9, for many of us, has considerable issues. The 10.9.1 release was a 'Mem' moment for those of us in this camp. So, come on Apple, fix 10.9!

I love the look of OS X. I remember Jony Ive once saying something like "When you see a very well-designed object, you think 'of course it's that way, why would it be any other way?". That's how I feel about OS X. And that's definitely not how I feel about iOS 7...
Sorry but 10.10 is not the same as 10.1
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
I don't see 1 being the same as 10 in that sequence so please leave it
)or you think that we will have 10.9; 10.1 and then 10.11? Please!
On what machines? Newer all-Flash Macs are slick. Nothing slows 'em down. Could that be the problem, you need a newer machine?
One of the biggest factors in speed is network communications. Today's computers, and especially Mavericks, are practically 100% reliant on the Internet to get stuff done, at least that's how it's designed. I can't imagine what a Mac is like without iCloud integration. That seems so foreign to me.
Again, that goes for actual numbers, but not software releases. As an earlier commentator pointed out, you have software updates like 4.3.1 which make no sense on a number line.
Same ol' incremental update if this is accurate. I know a company can't release groundbreaking in ovation every year but I'm getting a little bored as of late with the standard product updates. iOS 7s interface was a much needed overhaul but not much else has changed lately. I'll still stick with Apple for the foreseeable future but I am definitely bored.
I'm okay with this. Why am I always in the minority with UI changes and Apple. I'm kinda sick of the round bubbly icons. The age of the Aqua interface is dead people, get over it.
If anything, be more upset that they're releasing the OS with the 10.10 stepping. Ugh.

I hope they make HUGE changes to OSX. I want a cleaner UI.
You people with your desperate clinging to hideous skeumorphic principles. Maybe the save icon should still be a floppy disk, and the iTunes icon a CD. So that way senior citizens will know what the icons are for.
No, it isn't. iOS had a congruent design language with OSX until iOS 7. They will make both iOS and OSX congruent in design once again in the near future. Come back to me in a year and a half or so and we can chat about who's right.
There has never been complete congruity with Apple UI across iOS, iCloud.com, and OS X. The best you can say is that they used the same icons/textures but that's about it.
Continuous integrity checking and automatic repair.
He didn't say "congruent design language", he said "shift to iOS' look entirely" which I wouldn't consider the same thing. Looks that are complimentary to each other, sure but not the same look.
Why not OS XI? 10.10 just seems bizarre.
Also, while the "flat" craze looks nice, there will come a time sooner or later that designers say "Wow, that shape would look even better with a drop shadow and lighting gradient." Design is cyclical.
