Comment from David Emery

I'm really disappointed quality/bugfixes weren't the on-stage focus. Is Apple listening to the continuing gripes? (Last week I found the keyboard I've been using for years won't work on a brand-new...

I'm not at all surprised Apple ignored the software quality issue - this is still a marketing event, and while they may occasionally poke fun at the previous version, they're not going to come out and...

Any improvements to the new Photos app will be welcome. I expected a 'Pages' type approach with certain features missing from the initial release, but have been disappointed with the pace (can you say...

If this is an attempt at a Snow Leopardization of Yosemite, let's all, including Apple, remember that getting from 10.6 to 10.6.8 took 23 months. I'm no fan of OS updates on a yearly schedule and...

First of all, its too early to tout El Capitan as the next Snow Leopard!Snow Leopard was truly refined over its 7 updates to be - I said it! - the most stable of all the OS X releases till date. Its...

Adding the ability to "swipe" messages in Mail sounds more like a bug to a feature to me. As a touch typist working on MacMini, I want keyboard controls, and don't use a touchscreen.

I'm using Yosemite on an Early 2011 MacBook Pro and find it runs better than it did under Mavericks.

Comment from John Cooper

Let's call it "apparent" prioritization. Prioritization isn't a crime to be alleged, but while outsiders can't prove that Apple worked more on design and features than it did on polish and stability,...

Ditto! Snow Leopard has been the most stable OS I have used and do not want to upgrade. However, it is getting harder and harder for Safari to work on websites. I constantly get the warning that my...

Comment from Jack Ziegler
