The tinfoil hat on top of my head tells me Maverick was built to be free from monetary cost but with the price (and intent) of cutting down on the hackintosh crowd.
Anyone know the difficulty there in getting it running?
Tinfoil reasoning:
Workstations in general are on the downslope.
Mobile workstations, notebooks, on the uprise.But Apples mb/mbp's are successively getting harder to upgrade.
The possibility of aftermarket RAM upgrades are going away,
so are drives.With a "free" OS, that can't run (nor be coixed into running (i.e. hackintosh)) on PC notebooks, you've only one option: mbs.
...And since those are made harder to upgrade with aftermarket parts, you would be forced to pick a new one in intervals. A forced subscription in a sense.
Not just mbps/notebooks if Maverick was made to tackle hackintosh stations, of course, regular "traditional" workstations too. But it seem like a calculated move. And if not now, then probably later with next iteration of OSX.

the fucking itunes cover art screensaver now doesn't exit when you move your mouse. it instead asks you if you want to play one of hte records on the screen.
what sort of useless bullshit is that. when i move my mouse, i want the screensaver to go away. not to go down and have to find an "exit" button. christ on skates.
- What the fuck is a screensaver?nb
- I can't believe Apple has RUINED the screensaver feature. This is certainly the downfall of Apple.nb

I've got to say, after a day of hating on it, it's growing on me, and it actually feels faster now after it finishes caching, and indexing. Very impressive.

Is it likely that a lot of the reports about slow computers after updating would be related to the caching and indexing? I find it odd that a minority report a slower experience after updating, while the vast majority report an increase.
- Can't speak for others, but it's the first time I've ever upgraded, as opposed to done a fresh installtwooh
- which I think plays a huge factor in speed when first operating it.twooh
- Indeed indexing and re-caching can take hours if you've got a ton of files. I do so I install and leave overnight.evilpeacock

yeah, it's more stable and faster on my old Mac Pro. And my model is the oldest one possible to get Lion and Mavericks on. Once they up the specs my machine is obsolete. Good excuse to buy new toys.
- I think I'll update tonight. My iMac is from Late 2012.monospaced
- i have a 2-3 yr old iMac as well but holding off for now until i hear more about any issuesprophetone

Did you know that... if you install iWorks 9 trial and upgrade OS X to Mavericks, it will get automagically baptised by AppStore to a full license added to your account, and upgraded to the most recent version?
Probably will still work if you install the trial when on Mavericks already.

i have dual monitors... everything is working fine except the command-tab menu appears on my other screen now... ... i don't like that... I can't figure out how to get back on my main screen
not a big deal but definitely one of those things that is silly-annoying
- You can move it easily in the system prefmonospaced
- where? i'm done looking (I think I put about 4 mins of effort into it)... guide me, monoPonyBoy
- on the two monitors, drag the menu bar to the one you wantmonospaced
- that just moves the main menu.. does nothing to move the 'command-tab' menu to opposite screenPonyBoy
