Still have Rootpipe vulnerability as far as I know.

Rootpipe was fixed for OS X.10 but it also affected all Macs back to OS X.8. . . and Apple did not fix it for the older versions. A newer version of the Rootpipe was supposedly found by a hacker, but all versions require physical possession of the computer to do anything with them. If you have physical possession there are far easier ways to compromise the computers than a root pipe.

Slowly compared to Mavericks? Not that i've noticed. . . but then what is slow on an SSD? Ten seconds to usable screen. . .

Transparencies can be turned off if you don't like it. I kind of like it.

I haven't noticed anything that looks iOS like at all in the controls. . . It looks like OS X.

i have never had to reboot my MacBook Air or my iMac which has been running OS X.10 Yosemite for quite some time even on the beta. I don't know what their problems are. . . but I'm not experiencing them.

Avalanche? 58% of Mac users are on OS X Yosemite now. . . and there are few thousand complaints. That is not an avalanche of complaints. 55 million to a few thousand. I'll go to with the 55 million without problems.

I have heard it has gone back to smaller fonts you can’t enlarge. Maybe that is baseless, but those kinds of complaints make me hesitant to even try Yosemite.

Sounds like FUD to me. . .

It goes on from there. iOS is for CPUs that have that limitation. It is wrong of Apple to try to impose iOS on a personal computer that has the power and speed to run something better. I realize Yosemite is not iOS per se, but I don’t want my user interface to take a step backward and looking like a cell phone when there is no need for it with the speed and power of my iMac.

There is nothing iOS like about OS X Yosemite. Not at all.

Yosemite brings the “flat” visual characteristics of the IOS UI to the Mac. I’m still not a huge fan of the flat look on either platform.

It is good to know you endorse Yosemite. I will take that to heart and try to find somebody using it so I can see for myself.

Thanks for the help.
