I would have preferred OS X Sea Lion.

Me too actually, Mavericks sounds pretty lame compared to the great cat releases.

I'm glad they are _finally_ solving the multiple desktop issue, its definitely the most frustrating aspect of OSX. Also, loved how it worked with AppleTV.

Did I miss something and they've gone back and un-broken spaces/virtual desktops? Or are you talking about multiple monitors?

Obviously multiple monitors have needed a fix for ages but spaces are my pet issue so I have to ask.

Store my keychain on the iCloud, eh? Is this going to be the default behaviour now?

If so, I guess I'm abandoning Apple faster than I thought I would, a day or so ago .

Yes, they have un-broken it.

Each display can now have it's own virtual desktops, and each screen can have their own full screen app without showing linen on the other.

Easy dragging of apps from one screen to another and more.

I'm not a Mac user, but isn't the keychain encrypted?

Can't wait for "yosemite"

Sure, but only if they make Yosemite Sam jokes. ;)

Looks nice, I'm still waiting for decent keyboard navigation of the Finder though. Haven't found a third-party solution that works yet.

OS X Snoop Lion would have made me happy too.

I'm kind of surprised and amused that they chose the name of an old Ubuntu release (October 2010): http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/maverick/

Lots of people are already doing this with 1Password either in iCloud or on Dropbox. As long as it's encrypted with the appropriate algorithms, what's the issue?
