  • Apple OS X El Capitan out tomorrow – anyone care?

    So, I’m guessing from the name, El Capitan, that it’s essentially just an update to Yosemite (El Capitan being in Yosemite, of course), rather than a brand new OS: Is that correct?

    Yup; much like Lion > Mountain Lion and Leopard > Snow Leopard, it’s mostly about refinement. Worth noting the increasing similarity to iOS –
    “The subtle difference in El Capitan is that we’re actually seeing new features come to both iOS and OS X at the same time rather than existing on iOS first and then trickling down to the Mac later. Many of the biggest, most noticeable changes here are the same ones you saw in iOS 9 two weeks ago. The new Split Screen multitasking mode, tweaks to multitouch gestures, changes to services like Spotlight , and overhauled apps like Notes all fall into this category. Others, like System Integrity Protection, are merely iOS-inspired.”

    Everything seems to be ok, running for a few days. Had some wifi dropouts yesterday but that’s not uncommon and usually bt router related. Can’t say I’ve noticed it’s faster overall

    Cheers drlex.

    I’ve just installed it, literally a few minutes ago. The first thing I’ve noticed is a new icon, top right, that seems to be for display preferences. The other thing, and I’m not sure if it’s my imagination, but the screen display looks a little more washed-out than before. Anyone else?

    All up and running now but far too early to see if it’s any different.

    Does anyone know if you can revert to your previous OS via a time machine backup if you don’t like it?

    Cheers.

    Thanks, but that begs the question why?

    Well, that was an underwhelming experience. You have to be a Mac nerd to know anything has happened!

    I’ve completely lost the use of iTunes…. good job i backed up before i “upgraded”.

    Seems that Apple have now taken the same mentality with their Mac OS as they have with iOS, which sucks…. balls.
