I finished my OS X Mavericks installation when I got home from work this morning. From a visual standpoint, it's a much less dramatic change than iOS 7 was. I like the addition of iBooks and maps. I'm currently downloading the updates for iMovie and iPhoto, two very large apps. This will take at least 2 or 3 hours.

Lol, i'm doing exactly the same thing, just over an hour on one of them, about 30 mins on the other, the camera update was much shorter.

Yes, it's only when you look at that you realise it is different, it just looks the same otherwise.

I like how you don't have to keep entering your admin password just to change the time.

That's good, it's the little changes that can be most useful.

So glad to hear that! I've always felt that OS X was the most beautiful UI among all of the operating systems.

Now here' something interesting. OS X Mavericks is downloaded and installed on my computer but I'm still prompted to download it.

That is interesting and strange, does the prompt keep popping up?

It's not a pop up, but whenever I go to the featured page in the Mac AppStore,there's the ad for Mavericks at the top of the page saying download now. If I look at the list of apps by Apple, it also says download.

If I click on the Apple logo at the top left of the home screen and check out the about this Mac section, it shows that I do indeed have Mavericks installed.

Isn't that weird! I never heard of that before.
