Cool stuff Apple! everybody loves free upgrade.

 

[johnnnw]

Going to wait, I'm afraid about app compatibility.

Are they all updated already?

 

[ZacNicholson]

I don't need to upgrade to this if I'm running the second gm right?

 

[Compile 'em all]

It is a bit shocking that they really released it for free.

This is a great update. I really like the direction that Apple is taking OS X lately, much more than iOS, personally.

Downloading now - it'll likely be crazy slow to download as Apple's servers are hit.

No wonder they called it Mavericks. It brought in big waves of changes. Especially in price.

 

[Xerotech]

It is a bit shocking that they really released it for free.

Same, I thought it'd be for $10-20. Gotta love Apple!

Mavericks GM gave new life to my Late 2009 MBP so I can't wait to see what it does to my 2012 iMac and MBA!

[melendezest]

Free!?! YESSS!!!

I'll be installing it immediately (after a fresh couple of backups)!

This way I can see if there are any "iOS 7-isms" and revert if necessary.

 

[fel10]

Anybody doing a clean install?

 

[Tha Professor]

My download will be done in about 2 hours...can't wait!

I am at 1 GB Downloaded, going strong at 1 megabyte a second... Might be a problem elsewhere?
