OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Beta Seeded to AppleCare Employees

I'm really hoping for some improvements to the Quicktime player X and that Mavericks will play nice with Apple Prores422 files. After all it's apples own codec, why not fully support it like that always did before. I shoot a lot of Prores video and I don't get icon previews anymore and I'm not alone on this. Quicktime Player X has limited support for lots of files now and has to "Convert" them to play them when they used to play natively. Quicktime 7 is far from dead for video professionals.
And then there is the group that has not installed Mavericks at all. Hard to see a reason to do so.
(yea, I in that group)

I agree with the tense you used there.
I see more and more examples of lack of interoperability, the loss of some pro-grade features that mean less collaboration/performance/flexibility and the dumbing down of how new features look like.
iCloud anyone? Mighty Lord... So many things wrong with it
I sit on my bed, the Mac's over there, I have this iPhone in my hands and want to quickly do something with my Mac, but all I can do is use the Remote app. Seriously, there's nothing more you can think of than giving me a 2.0 version of the remote I have near my pillow as well?
XSan... Why did it have to go?
I could go on...

Isn't this problem due to gmail and not Mavericks - it doesn't work with Mail.app or web based gmail ?
Meanwhile, on the app store......

Just not nicely integrated into the OS, but using WiFi.
But wait, it's not measuring the distance between my Mac and iPhone via Bluetooth unlike AirDrop does between compatible iOS devices, so I don't get to see it being directly in front of my face on my iPhone...

Whoopdidoo!

The oft-quoted best reason to upgrade to Mavericks right now is better battery life on MacBooks.
I did so on my MacBook Air, found the OS to be useful and stable enough to proceed in installing Mavericks on my Mac mini.
Everyone's needs and wants are different. My needs on both systems happen to be quite simple, and my user experience has been quite good for an initial 10.x.0 release.
Of course, I had full Time Machine backups of both systems while they were still on Mountain Lion, so if I had found Mavericks to be unhelpful, I would have downgraded. A low risk proposition.
Nothing wrong staying with Mountain Lion for the time being. I have a spare Mtn Lion external boot drive as well, Just In Case(™).
I'm hoping that they did fix some of the freezing issues but just didn't list it as a specific bug =/

That's a ridiculous expectation. Mavericks is incredibly buggy and laggy right now and needs to be patched well before new features are added. This is not uncommon on .1 releases.
Hard to say that it is a problem with Gmail when Google hasn't made any changes, Apple has.
Sending the new iWork documents as attachments does not work in Gmail via the native web-based interface or via the Mail app.
This does mean the problem is not inherent to the Mail app, but rather with iWork's new document format not being compatible with Gmail.
In my view that means that the initiative lies with Apple to improve compatibility issues its products have with Gmail, not the other way around.
In a business situation like my company is in, using Google Apps for Business, it means that we will be forced to revert back to MS Office if the issue is not resolved. We certainly won't change our email service for the whole company.
This new iWork file format compatibility problem is not limited to Gmail either. Dropbox cannot handle it either. It unpacks the content of the file in a folder as if it were a compressed archive.
The only way to share these files outside of iCloud (which just doesn't work in a business environment, and was never designed to) is to compress them in a zipped archive on Dropbox, and when you uncompress it, then the file is intact. However you then of course lose the ability to work with and update the document.
So something was not fully thought through on Apple's side when they created the new file formats for iWork. Either that or they are just are arrogant enough to believe that everyone will conform to their needs. The third alternative is that they simply don't care about it enough to ensure seamless use of their touted productivity software and have instead concentrated their resources on more aesthetic features like the web-based versions and iCloud collaboration, which, while a neat trick, do not have anything to do with real core productivity, especially in a business setting with the limitations iCloud has.
You can say that again, I have never had Mac OS X freeze so often on me. F.. hating it.

Please go on....
Sorry! too late.
I reverted back to Snow Leopard.
Mavericks:
Too many frozen windows.
Too many reboot loops.
Too many startup problems.
Too many hot lap tops.
Too much for me to bear.

? Once released... will all new Imacs come with 10.9.1 installed by default or will this still require a download and install?
how about fixing Safari to stop eating so much RAM memory?...
My MBA with 4Gb RAM is running out of memory minutes after I start using Safari. And the fan is running crazy as well. That is not fun.

I'll compile a list of all my gripes so far...
OO! One more.
Hopefully they don't fix these, otherwise I won't have anything to gripe about.
- Gmail issues = won't download new messages.
- Minor graphical glitches (extremely minor) during certain animations, sometimes.
OO! One more.
- "iPod Photo Cache" folder is still spawned in a really stupid place by design....
