A good move from Apple in terms of the way they use the features? Somebody had the advise of not to merge IOS and Mac OSX into Mac OSX 10.10 like what Windows 8 is in multiple modes? If that's the case of Mac OSX 10.10, you will still get into Desktop Mode after logging in and of course, the Launchpad or whatever it is where you can see the amount of apps has made things easier to browse through although the classic way is that you can launch the apps through the Dock or perhaps the Search Spotlight. On Ubuntu, you can launch the applications the classic way through the menu on top but with Unity, the OS is starting to behave like another Mac OSX kind of OS but with Linux features. Windows 8 on the other hand, you get different ways to launch the desktop apps through the Start Screen but by having two multiple modes in one OS, it is already a disastrous idea for all types of computers. The desktop mode is still as touch un-friendly as it is on the tablet but for desktop and laptop users, the tablet mode interface is completely out of place. To solve the disaster, it looks like Apple is planning to have the Mac OSX versions of various features that were already in IOS.
Also, there will be easier connection between Mac OSX and IOS devices. There was AirDrop for both of these platforms but there was no way to transfer data in between. Perhaps, there will be a way to transfer for real as ITunes is kind of limited for that. Plus, the Apple Maps was like a disaster back then that Google Maps took over. The only positive thing about taking out Google Maps from IOS is that it is for the sake of security and that app doesn't belong to Apple as it is not the first-party app. Yes, the app came back as the third-party app but we can try to make sure that Apple does something right with the new version of Apple Maps.
TextEdit and Preview for IOS will be available in the future where you can edit documents that are in Mac OSX but how will that work? Will that require the new AirDrop? If so, it may be better than using the ICloud to do all that editing of the documents.
Other features include the Soundhound like feature that is part of Siri where you can identify songs by holding the Home button, Windows 8-style multi-tasking, AirDisplay like feature where you can use your Ipad as the second display although the performance won't be that good that way as I may assume it's remote desktop powered.
The last brave thing from Apple is that they will be coming out with the ARM-based Macbook although I don't know if that will overheat or not since the CPU fan will not be included on that thing. Tablets don't seem to overheat or something as I know of. The event will start tomorrow at 10AM Pacific Time, 1PM Eastern and 6PM BST.
And, what the hell is wrong with Microsoft like that when it comes to Windows 8 and 8.1? We got THE DISASTROUS COMBINATION meaning to say Desktop Mode + Touch Mode into one whole disaster, but not this upcoming separation from Mac OSX 10.10 with cleaner UI? But that doesn't mean that I had regrets in using them because Windows 8 was supposed to be part of my New Year's Resolution two years ago. And of course, anything you do to the client OS in terms of OS developement will affect the other counterparts too such as the embedded or server OS.
