OS X "Mavericks". I like the OS X "Sea Lion" better :-D but I can live with Mavericks, no great shakes there.
Let's keep this brief, just like the changes involved (although they spouted that there's a lot of changes and features).
Tabbed Finder - This has been done by third parties already. It's a long overdue feature. Not groundbreaking.
Maps app - They've improved maps and put it on the desktop. Good. You can sync map items and directions to your iOS devices now. Nice feature.
Notifications Sync - if you get a notification on your desktop for mail, and it's read or dismissed, you won't have to dismiss it from your iOS device. Neat.
New Safari - This one passed me by a little bit. Some enhanced Reader features in the side bar. And keychain sync across devices. Chrome has been doing this for some time, so it's about time Apple caught up.
Multiple monitor handling and Airplay - Apple finally got their act together and made additional displays work properly. They've even integrated all the Mission Control and Spaces functionality into it. Looks good. But as with other things, it probably should've be done a long time ago.
All in all, I'm sure this is a good update to what is already a good operating system. Users won't be disappointed by it at all. It's another step towards closer integration with iOS, which is a good thing.
