Am I the only one here who hates to see Lucida Grande be replaced with Neue Helvetica Aslightaspossible? Eager to see how it looks on non-retina displays.

I have to imagine that the next MacBook Air will have a retina display, and there will be a different font used on non-retina computers, same as the iPad.

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

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

Use 2+ monitors and 2+ desktops ('Spaces' or whatever they're called). When you're expecting to go from app A to app B, instead you're taken to app C. Or, you're taken to an unexpected window of App B on a different desktop.

Also, the Z-ordering of windows seems really odd. If you have multiple windows open from two apps, and you ⌘+` between them, sometimes all of App A windows are brought to the front and App B windows are hidden. Other times only one App A window is brought up. Meanwhile, if you have App C chilling on a different monitor, it may or may not disappear at random.

Even if it worked as intended, it would be flawed when compared with Alt+Tab on windows.

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.

Apple people like to mock Aero's translucency, but I... always liked it. Anyone else? Anyone?

Yep, Apple still hasn't learned that iOS Flat is Apple's Vista. Windows users used Vista DESPITE aero not because of it. So now they added it to Mac. If I can keep from upgrading, I will.

Not a great article: new features trumpeted include Spotlight's ability to search for mail messages and contacts, and a Private Browsing mode for Spotlight - both of which are pretty long-standing features.

These things tend to get rushed out, but maybe TC could have waited just a few more minutes to weed out the obvious stinkers.

I know it's hardly the most important thing in an operating system but god that looks ugly. This dumb flat fad cannot end soon enough. I hope mavericks get security updates for awhile because I don't have plans to upgrade.

So... Oh Ess Ten Ten Point Ten? Is that how it's pronounced? I suppose it's better than OS X X.X.

They already dropped the first ten. It's OS 10.10.

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?

A very philosophical question indeed.
