You've been using the public beta and you see no reason to wait. Some of you are reading this and scoffing. You really ought to wait and see where the pitfalls are before you jump. And iOS 8 and Yosemite sport benefits together - in the form of Apple's "Handoff" technology - that promise an experience greater than the sum of their parts.īut if your Mac is stable and working well enough right now with Mavericks, I'd caution you to consider waiting just a little bit of time before upgrading to Yosemite. It's especially compelling this year, because many Mac users have iOS devices too, and already have upgraded to iOS 8 or may have purchased a new device that already has iOS 8 installed on it. It's easy when Apple releases the software updates for free, too.
That risk aversion is easy to lose when it's not a question of making money, but just of having the newest thing you can. The temptation is to increase productivity - and therefore profits.

It was a problem, sometimes, because vendors promised the moon if we'd just agree to upgrade our software or hardware. Even Apple's own discussion forums sometimes give us a distorted sense of the magnitude of technical problems we have with our Apple products.īefore I wrote I had a career in IT, and it was drilled into me by my bosses that we should never be on the bleeding edge of anything because doing so carries risk, and risk costs us profitability. Anyone on the bleeding edge of an upgrade who experiences problems is likely to complain about it, and social media makes it simple for us to find like-minded people and band together. The problem as I see it is that Apple has now made it trivially easy for many of us to upgrade the second we get a notification, so upgrade we do.
Sometimes it takes a bit of time for Apple to shake out the problems.

And Apple has a pretty aggressive update schedule that brings major new versions of its operating systems each year. And there were a few stinkers on the OS X road too.Ĭertainly stuff like iOS 8.0.1 shouldn't have happened - killing your new flagship product with an over the air update was just baffling, and I hope some day to learn the story of just how that got out the door.īut the fact is that iOS and OS X are both complex, intricate systems.

Just ask any of us old Mac vets who lived through the "Classic" Mac OS days.
