Anyone upgraded to this yet and if so, what do you think of it? Is it worth doing????

Yes, I've upgraded both my iMac and MacBook Air. No issues what so ever with it

Unfortunately I run Parallels and the version I have would not work with Mavericks. But I would be interested to hear what changes there are in Mavericks and whether it is worth the upgrade.

I run Mavericks on my MBA and MBP at home and my iMac at work without any issues.

Only issue I had was with Parallels compatibility, otherwise I like it.

First update in years that has actually improved things with my mac!

What is 'Parallels'?

It's software which allows you to run Windows on a Mac. I use it for Sage accounting software which isn't compatible with Mac OS.

Other's might use it for similar or gaming. There is a newer Parallels out which is compatible but I am too much of a skinflint to buy it.

Oh right, it doesn't seem to be something I would need to be thinking about. Thanks - I learn something new every day

I gave up with Parallels ages ago. I find VMWare Fusion is much better now and offers better compatibility.

All Intel based Macs will run Windows using the built in BootCamp assistant (you choose to boot into OS X or Windows). Fusion & Parallels allow you to run Windows from within OS X at the same time. It also doesn't have to be Windows, you can instal virtually any OS using Parallels or Fusion if you need to.

How confusing….

If you don't need to run Windows and everything works as it is now, I wouldn't worry about it.

One thing I forgot to mention is the only thing that has stopped working for me in Mavericks (and it seems many other people too) are the Safari website push notifications.

I use virtual box which is a free piece software downloadable from the Internet. Allows running of the second OS whilst OSX is still running.

My iMac hard drive seems to have died today, so new one on its way from Dabs and gives me an excuse to rebuild with a fresh install of Mavericks. Not sure I want to risk it on the MacBook Pro or Air yet - too many work-critical apps on them ;-) But I'll see how the iMac fares before totally ruling it out.

working very well-pleased with everything but the ongoing issues with bookmarks bar.
