This is like an argument / observation on the whether.
People talk about it thinking they have any control over the matter by discussing what they do and don't like.
In reality, it's top down; Apple does this, we have no choice but to accept it and change accordingly.
Our tools shift and we shift alongside them.

- changes Apple makes to the OS usually don't change anything about how we work, except for the bettermonospaced

I want an OS that doesn't try to be anything else other than an OS. It would be nice if they made an OS with the intention of third parties to add functionality.
Mail, web browser, preview, and font management are just a few of the many apps I replace with third party apps.- why?Ianbolton

Finally some potentially viable creative suite alternatives are becoming available. I think ubuntu should invest and develop a proper option, they could potentially gain market share that way.
I'd have switched to ubuntu years ago if I could run Adobe cs on it.
- can you run a virtual machine with another os? or defeats the purpose?yurimon
- < yes you canernexbcn
- of course any mac can run any virtual machinemonospaced

Whatever is, I'm looking forward to it. Just don't upgrade to new OS, until at least a few updates in. You'll be fine.

Seriously not fucking looking forward to this, could end up being worse than Tiger or Lion

I don't get the problem. The OS is barely noticeable when I have full screen apps running. What doesn't work for you guys right now? Or is that a stupid question?
I prefer chrome over safari, just because I can block the fuck out of ads, but generally everything else I couldn't care less about.

ugh more bloatware, poor graphics and fluff no-one needs. why can't they strip it back to a bare bones OS and let us benefit from the speed of the new processors?
oh yeah i forgot... features, man, it's all about the noo feechurs
- Bloatware?monospaced
- all those unnecessary "features" that make my new macbook pro run Mavericks as slowly as my old macbook ran SLhans_glib
- that's not the definition of bloatware, btwmonospaced
- yes it is - unnecessary features that slows down the computer is exactly what bloatware is.hans_glib
- I believe bloatware is actually pre-installed applications and trials, not features.monospaced
- like office, or mcafee, or the OEM interfaces, etcmonospaced
- well my definition is better ;) it suggests an unnecessarily overweight object that needs slimming downhans_glib
- which all modern OSs are these dayshans_glib
- initial installation now means spending time putting the system through a detox/slimming programme to make it run quickerhans_glib
- make it run quicker.hans_glib
- You're destined to live a very unhappy life Hans.Ianbolton
- what exactly do you have to fix after an OS X install for it to run faster?monospaced
- switch of all automatic downloads, updates, notifications etc etc.... anything that seems to slow the processor downhans_glib
- @ ianbolton - why? because software engineers are going to ruin it for me?hans_glib

As long as I can have multiple workspaces I can swipe between quickly, a spacebar that previews any document instantly, system-wide real-time search, and a place to quickly place and find my files, I'm good. Right now the Mac OS does this, and most of it is hidden most of the time anyway. Whenever using Windows I get frustrated not having these tiny OS perks, so as long as Apple keeps them, I don't give a fuck what they do with the polish of the UI.
- hope they include maps again with the desktop version - so useful ;)fadein11
- < Standard features. My life couldn't really get much easier at the moment.Ianbolton
- Maps is not only a very tiny app, it uses absolutely no resources and you never have to see itmonospaced
- why would they get rid of these?doesnotexist
- they wouldn't, that's my point... as long as it's functional and efficient, I have no issue with the skinmonospaced

I don't get the hate for iOS7. I love it.
It feels really weird and dated whenever I see iOS6 now.
There were issues at first because they had to rush things out but most of it as been ironed by now. I welcome a refreshing change to OSX and am pretty sure they'll do a good job. What I know for sure is whatever they do, a bunch of you guys will always whine.- I don't get how anyone, especially designers think it's acceptable. It's dire.set
- I know tons of designers that are more than happy with it.monospaced
- Wrongensset
- can you send us names and contact details for said designers mono?fadein11
- can you stop being a cunt to me?monospaced
- compared to everything else, i think it's really nice. i enjoy using it and it has found a special spot in my heart.doesnotexist
- iOS 6 was awful too thoughanimatedgif

All I ask is to be able to move, copy and delete files from within application file windows as per Windows for the past hundred years - can't be hard to implement.
Oh and Maps for the desktop - so useful lol!

I'm not defending Maps, it's totally useless to me too compared to Google's browser solution, but you're complaining about a 5.5 MB app that you never, ever have to see. As you know, Apple's put tons of R&D into their maps recently, so having the iOS counterpart developing on both platforms made sense to them, even if it's still young.
