Can you explain why? I use Yosemite literally all day every day at work and home, and I have no issues with it. I also have a multiple iDevices and they work fine as well.

desktop switching is perfect on my Mac.
bugs exist in windows. i just ran software update on my windows machine -- 50 updates.
I'm still undecided on the watch. I've always wanted every product that Apple came out with but I think I need to see one in person to decide if I want one. Anyone else feel the same or are people really hot for it?

Same here. Sometimes I think that people just like to complain about bugs without really having a specific problem. The ones that bug me a little are the people who think they're SO smart by saying they're not updating to iOS 8 until 8.1 or Mac OS X 10.10.1 (or whatever) because of all the bugs.

It's not just you. None of this excites me.
As long-time Apple fans and users we have to accept that, as much as they try to market otherwise, Apple doesn't have the soul of their early days. They are now every bit as much a Microsoft as they once claimed to despise. They are not outsiders and they don't think differently. They think only about money and how they can get more of it.
Tim Cook has got to go as head of Apple. I'm calling it now. It was perhaps always a poisoned chalice to follow Jobs. I'm sure Steve did say to Cook not to think about what he would do, but that shouldn't extend to rubbishing the brand, its soul and identity. To be fair I think this already began during Jobs tenure as he gradually relinquished control and responsibility due to his ailing health.
A minor disclaimer that as a science grad with an engineer brother I have a seething disdain for financial or marketing types that think they know what's best for a company. In all modern workplaces the real innovators and workers have become subordinate to corporate management and this is very sad. It should be the other way around. Accountants, lawyers, paper pushers and corporate nobodies should be subordinate to the real drive and soul of a company. Technical experts, engineers, programmers and scientists should be the ones calling the shots and rise to positions of management and power.
Apple needs a technician, engineer or programmer as its CEO. Someone who's willing to to tell investors and Wall Street to shove it when necessary. There is no evidence that Tim Cook is this person and lots to the contrary.
I don't know, I think its been a pretty good Apple year. The iPhone 6 is, in my opinion, the best iPhone update ever. The thinness and the feel of it and the increased battery life over my previous 5 with a better camera and Apple Pay to boot. Love it!
IPad Air2 is a fantastic hardware update. And for all the "it looks the same" crowd: please, tell me, how do you change the design of 10" rectangle other than making it thinner and changing the corners. Honestly it's a screen. Not much else you even could change. iPad Mini3 was kind of an embarrassment, though. Why make it a new model (3) when the only change was colors and Touch ID?
I've had no issues with iOS8 or Yosemite (and I was/am a beta/developer user) and I really, really like the look of Yosemite. Dark Mode for the win! (With the correct darkish black background of course!)
I am hesitant on the iWatch but only because I have a Pebble that I barely wear and am not sure I care about the features the Apple Watch will offer. Though it looks cool.
I am very excited to see/buy a 12" Retina Air!
New Apple TV would be cool.
12" iPad Pro: probably good for pro artist/architect types if it has a stylus. But not of real interest to me.
As always, just my opinions....

Couldn't agree more. Cook is great for profits and shareholders, terrible for creativity and innovation. And please don't mention that silly watch. The unveiling of the iPhone was an insane display of innovation. The watch felt the complete opposite. I still have no idea why I'm supposed to buy that thing. So I can have a baby, dumbed down version of what my phone already does? So I can be told to stand up every 30 minutes because it's healthy? This will be novel the first week, then what? Nobody is going to charge that thing daily only to never use it. Tim Cook is neither a visionary nor a risk taker. No reward without risk. His strategy for job security is to convert Apple into a mechanism of increasing share value even if it means suspending creativity in lieu of spec bumps and baby upgrades.. I hate when great things become all about the money. Everything turns safe and dull.
More New Stuff That Doesn't Work
Why doesn't Apple just take a year to get all their existing stuff to work? Apple is becoming the General Motors of technology. Looks like Apple Pay is the latest FUBAR.

Can't wait for the 2015 Retina MacBook Pro! I've been planning on upgrading from my early 2011 MacBook Pro for some time now, but I've been holding off for the bigger updates that have been rumored such as the new trackpad, broadwell processors, better graphics card, and a possible redesign? 
I have yet to own a Retina MacBook or Retina iPad! Just Retina/Retina HD iPhones and iPods. the newest iPads in my house are two first gen minis. I could use an upgrade!

What is it? The iBore is a plastic marble...in white. Each one is hand polished by Jony Ive himself.
Orders start 2/1/15 with first deliveries expected by 2/1/16.
Manufactured in America!!!
5 year Apple Care available for iBore only $50.
1 inch iBore starts at $999 with special limited edition clear iBore going for $3500.
Finally! An Apple product worthy of its name!!!!

the notebook line has gotten ungodly stale.
spare me the "intel is way too far behind on broadwell" speech, apple couldve updated many other things in the machines in the last year.
apple used to do major refreshes every 8 months like clockwork with small processor speedbumps every four, now its like apple doesnt do anything at all for over a year at a time and when they do, the updates arent great - how longs it been since we got a real screen upgrade, retina in 2012? you aint gonna see updated mbps until WWDC at the earliest, another GOOD six months away.
who would bother buying broadwell at that point anyway? may as well wait for skylake because broadwell will already be outdated by the time it drops.

Completely agree. Starting to look like the most important thing they need to upgrade is the CEO.
I don't like to make predictions, but if I did, I'd expect the big Apple story of 2015 will be the flop of the iWatch. Pretty much going to be the next Newton.
Yep. Better still, a 3.5" screen. And bring back skeuomorphic in iOS. This 'flat' crap in 7 & above is annoying as hell! Flat is for display panels, not what is displayed on them.
----------
I'm starting to think you have a point. Maybe they should bring Forstall back.
Agree with you guys completely on all points.
Apple needs to start looking for a new CEO now, instead of waiting for Cook to Ballmerize the company into the ditch.
tim cook makes fun of surface but that is what a "pro" tablet should be!!!
if apple wants to call a tablet pro it should be more than just bigger with better chips!!! ios is a great mobile OS, but anything called pro should run yosemite and full versions of professional software!! it should have more storage to store bigger programs 256GB & 512GB. it should hace a stylus and real touch drivers like wacom. more speakers, video out, usb and card slot. the bezel should have 8 to 10 user definable buttons. apple is no longer inovating. we, as customers, don't demand it. we buy these devices that change so little.

I agree, I miss the 'Pro'fessionalness of older Apple products, iOS is great, but the 'dumbing down' of some of the professional apps and products is really frustrating. As they try to appeal to the more average consumers they're pushing away their pro users who spend thousands of dollars on their products.
Examples would be iWork, Final Cut etc. All being made "easier" to use.
Yep. Seems a lot of us disagree with the writer. There was not much innovation in 2014. A larger phone hardly qualifies. The only real "innovation" is Apple Pay. And that more for its financial impact than for its novelty.
And in terms of important stuff, A.K.A. Computers there was again nothing.
How about fixing iOS and OSX bugs, releasing more usable and less thin laptops that don't need an adaptor for everything, non glossy screen options, an upgradable headless mac (I know that will never happen), and iCloud and email service that actually reliable works (seriously, in 2015 updating your email inbox shouldn't take 2 min while the internet connecting is blazing fast, and sending a 5 MB email shouldn't take 10 min when I can upload a 200MB movie to YouTube in 3 min. GMail and Yahoo can do all of this much faster than Apple).
I guess Apple won't be finding a market because a stylus is NOT coming.
Multi Tasking is also a bit of a red herring.
