I'm sorry, but that name is TERRIBLE.

Funny how Mavericks comes out the same time as Haswell CPUs, and Apple is pitching the main benefit of Mavericks as being improved battery life, when that just happens to be the main benefit of Haswell over Ivy Bridge...

 

Marketing at it's (simplistic) finest!

 

Glad they finally implemented better multi-display support at least.

 

better multi display support means it can now exceed Windows 2000 Professional ..... bout bloody time, as long as it works with varying resolutions and color depths across screens

and I as well find it pretty funny one of the biggest selling points is better battery life .... also a major side effect of Haswell ULV procesors and not software related at all

 

lol, Yet the key will be if it improves the battery life of sandy/ivy bridge machines as well.

 

not necessarily. that intel thing about fetching is just part of the story, so lets say that the cpu pools resources every 300ms, but the OS mandates that it pools some at 200ms others at 3001ms, 42ms, 34ms.... its not going to work that much better is it? now if you aggregate and coordinate with the cpu pooling, you get something much more interesting.

I dont see the problem with it being applied to other machines as well.

 

I don't think the name is that bad; I know people don't like the abandonment of the cat names, but there's nothing wrong with California place names. We have a lot of good names here. Maybe they'll have OS XI Nacimiento or...Cucamonga...

 

It was bound to happen someday. The remaining cat names are all "meh" at best:

 

I always thought that after "Panther" and "Tiger" and "Leopard" they should have gone with "Sherman" and "Abrams" and "Merkava"...

 

Well, if anything, Leopard (or Leopard 2) should be the top spot if we're basing this off of armor. Just my two cents though.

 

They could use cat names too, like Felix, Eek, and Snowball 1 or 2.

Does OSX have a way to use windows side by side like in Windows 7 ('snap-to split)'?

 

Not natively, but Cinch will do it.

 

I think that T-90 would also sound very nice for a new OSX version .

 

Window Magnet does it better (less buggy than Cinch) and is much cheaper.

 

I use better touch tools, infinitely cheaper than both of those

Oh wow, nice, I had never heard of that one I never noticed Cinch being buggy, but this program looks even better. Apple should really incorporate something like that into the OS. Both the snapping and the maximizing; almost every Mac user I've ever met (if they've never heard of Cinch/Window Magnet-like software) wants that ability on the computer...

 

Introducing Mac OS X T-90, the artist's choice for main battle operating systems of mass destruction.

 

That's what surprises me. Even Ubuntu has this standard and it works just like it does in Windows 7/8. Even the "Windows Key" and arrow buttons shortcut works. Apple is lagging.
