Dark mode looks pretty good, I think that will be my default.

Ignore me:

"Apple says that developers will be able to access the new OS X 10.10 Yosemite starting today, and a public beta will be available this summer. The final public release will be this fall. As with last year's OS X 10.9, 10.10 Yosemite will be available as a free upgrade to existing users."

LOL, it's one thing I really miss from Windows 7 in Windows 8.

Thumbs up for Dark Mode, thumbs about mid-way for everything else :/

I guess the texts/calls thing on your Mac is cool, I have a software phone app for work I use and find it pretty useful.

Nothing really blew me away tbh... although the Mac linking up with your phone is cool and will be very useful for me.

The constant updating of OSX means that 1) they can't really charge for it and 2) it seems underwhelming as we get drips and drabs with each year. HOWEVER, this is beneficial as 1) we don't have to pay, and 2) we get things as they are developed rather than waiting for lots of features which might take 2-3 years...

Well when they develop OSXI I guess that's when we'll have to pay.

This has all but convinced me to come back to the Mac.

I'm just not gaming on the PC anymore and I like the integration features like texting and calling from the desktop. The UI is looking pretty polished with the new icons and there's been more than one occasion when I've wanted the portability of a laptop and just haven't bothered firing up the desktop.

If I could sell my PC with minimal fuss I'd probably buy a MBP when they're refreshed

By the way for anyone who hasn't done what I did yesterday, do NOT use Trim Enabler:

I found out the hard way

I have to say, the calls and texts from the desktop are cool. The only problem is, I do most of my texting via WhatsApp.

 

[slinxy]

2D Dock is back!!!! Yea!!!

Texts and calls from Mac looks amazing - really happy they're introducing this always got fed up of having to use just my iPhone to send messages to certain contacts!
