Not surprisingly, apple came with news about Mavericks today, but very surprisingly, it'll be free!

Happy days. 

 

There has been a lot of praise for the way apple has incrementally updated their OS in relatively short intervals, but there has also been a lot of bad press on how they charge money for what might seem like service packs. Not this time! I think apple might do this to make "every" user run a updated system

It just cant be true, because Apple is always Apple. :)

Dammit. The only result that came up in search for Mavericks was from the 15th

 

Edit: Mine was at least in the right sub-forum. Oh, and yeah, edited in a link and some thoughts

Nope its true, it is free! Though I won't be upgrading for a while because I know there will probably be some big bugs with it.

*cough* 2008 model MacBook *cough* :P

 

One of those, you can install it but just running the system calculator takes it to a load of 10. :angry:

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

i used the DP and so far some applications have trouble running in 10.9.

 

Yes it is a good idea to wait for the developers of your applications to release updates first.
