In 2 years when they announce iOS X (10), I expect that will be when apps can only be loaded from the App Store and their vertical integration will be complete.

I don't care about flat or transparent. I just hope they effing fix windowing and multi-monitor support. ⌘+` is ridiculously buggy.

How is ⌘` buggy?

The dark UI option is a nice touch.

I wonder how that translates into applications? They just showed the menu bar and dock go dark unless I missed something.

What issue do you usually have when you use ⌘+`? I haven't had any problems.

So basically it is catching up with Windows 8.

And eclipsed in many areas.

The integration between desktop and phone is pretty powerful.

It would be nice to be able to switch between full screen windows with the keyboard.

Widgets, translucency, and animations... So... OS X 10.10 is... Windows Vista with Aero Glass? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a3/Windows_Vista....

First thing I thought of. "Look at how the background beautifully interacts with the translucent menu bar." Didn't we all turn that feature off back in 2007?!

Though in fairness that was partly because it was such a hog on Vista. I've left translucency on in Win 7, though it sure isn't a productivity boost and it ain't 'beautiful' either.

HandOff is the kind of thing I'm surprised took so long. Honestly, I was expecting MS to get something like it first. After all, your Windows Phone already runs Windows, right?

They kind of already have something like it with the roaming storage on 8.1, there's just not enough crazy interested developers on the platform trying to push the limits of the sdk, and MS hasn't really advertised all the neat stuff well.

> Apple has done away with the faux-3D shelf look here and has put the icons on a simple translucent background instead. I like the faux 3d dock . . . it'd be nice if this was configurable.

When they switched from the 2d dock to the 3d dock a lot of people said the same thing.

I like how apple is slowly reversing their design decisions. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the return of the spatial finder ;)
