it's still ugly, it's ALWAYS been ugly. fake 3d, waste of space...anyway, i've modded EVERY dock since 10.3, so will mod this one too..
Honesty, between ios7 and 10.9 I am shocked. In a good way however, it seems it be a slightly differently way of thinking. They are starting to realize most people using OSX are power users and want features like finder tabs and good dual monitor support. I'm very happy!

Huh. I love the way it looks now. Clean but not flat.
So, did you just remove the dock with mirage?
I'm not overly excited as much as thinking "It was about time!". Interface-wise, i.e. with Finder and multi-screen, it seems like it's playing catch-up to competing systems, like Ubuntu Unity, which looks like OSX with the dock, but has addressed these issues. Nice of Apple to fix it as well. The multimonitor space scrolling may boost my productivity, so thanks. I hope they still unveil some feature that makes it revolutionary, in the same way Lion was to Snow Leopard (most notably, system-wide Autosave/Versions/Resume, great safety nets that other OS can't replicate).
Regarding CPU/memory management improvement (if it works): I don't care that much; my rMBP is already a beast, I don't experience delays. I wish and hope they'll improve the rMBP rendering quality instead.
The name Mavericks is too American and not as cute as cats. It also is like the Windows codenames (not even release names): Chicago, Memphis, Longhorn I prefer they used the Apple wine names as official names now

in the past, i've changed files, but this time, mirage (and some custom icons)..
and will find a way in 10.7 as well...
I think it's a real productivity bump. Imagine the power efficiency combined with the increased battery life of the MacBook Air.
Hopefully there will also be some improved file handling with icloud. It just doesn't make sense to drag and drop the whole HD to icloud. Sync certain folders or tags would be great.
One thing that I found odd was they changed the design of iCal but stuck with the same design for both Notes and Reminders - despite altering them in the new iOS.
They don't really need changing as they don't seem as bad as iCal did, but I would have thought they would have done the lot.

Seems like a solid release, just wondering why some of the design from iOS7 isn't carrying over. Perhaps next year they will unify some the new design elements over to the desktop?
I am glad for the improved Finder and the fact it's not just more of iOSified crap - for these reasons alone I am upgrading.
Compressed memory is one of the biggest features in 10.9.x+. Apple uses already compression for Window buffers (since Mac OS X 10.1.5) and for sleep files (via WKdm (i think since Mac OS X 10.3.x)).

No Sir, thank you. lol Along with this I have to say that OpenGL 4.0 is the second greatest improvement with this release.Compressed memory is one of the biggest features in 10.9.x+.

No.Its the software library (API) which allows your apps to access all the functionality of your GPU
At Last - Features For MAC users!
I have to say Apple have won me over with this.
After all the (poor) porting of IOS 'features' into a computer OS Apple have finally looked at what enhances the computer users experience.
The three things they featured are great because they are genuine improvements to a MAC OS, not ported gimmicks from IOS.
The improvement to multiple displays is long overdue, but looks to have been superbly implemented - same goes for tabs and full screen on the finder too and the tags feature is great and looks really useful.
Really well thought out genuine improvements for a COMPUTER OS - well done Apple, I'll be buying it as soon as it's available.
PS: Just hope they give me the option to have the colour back in the finder sidebar too and then I'll be a VERY happy bunny indeed.

If you don't mind me asking how did you get those icons and set them for your stacks?
i've had those icons for so long, i don't remember the source... probably from macthemes.net...
Can't wait to try the dual monitor crap. Perhaps I'll even attempt it in Full Screen.
So again, somebody tell me why was this so hard to do in the previous two releases?
