let's talk about OS 10 so the team has been hard at work but on the latest release of OS 10 our tenth release in the history of OS 10 and this one is a doozy we really focused on three major areas in OS 10 some core technologies to fundamentally accelerate the performance of your Mac some features that smooth the Mac experience and some great new apps right let's take a look here at Mavericks and of course the Mac has no equal when it comes to a tool for getting projects done I'm going to work on a project right here and open up pages and open up a document for a mission to Mars and what's really great now in Mavericks is that also have access right here on my Mac to iBooks so I have my book library here I can open one of my books this is a textbook on Mars of course you see these beautiful interactive textbooks I can just use multi-touch gestures to move between the pages of a chapter just like this of course there are these great Interactive's there's a video here I can play it's really really nice it's a great way to learn but it's also a great way to work it's much easier to organize my content as well with tags so you see here I have the contents My Documents folder it's a lot in here but I've been able to categorize them by topic with tags so if I want to see on my content related to Mars I can just access it right here so I'll drag an image out that I want to add to my document just like this that looks pretty good and tagging your own documents really easy as well I can just click here on the title bar and add a tag so you can say I can select from any tags I've already created like Mars and I can also tag a single document with multiple tags so this one also has to do a school I'll tag it just like that and you'll notice it appears here under Mars as well as under school now Mavericks is also really great for keeping track of what's going on even when I'm working so for instance if a notification comes in like this let's see Oh yep I can actually respond right here to my wife let's see okay well let's see Phil is my fashion guru so you can just respond right there really convenient now we support a new kind of notifications in Mavericks as well which is website notifications if I've signed up for a particular site I can see a notification like this here we see Major League Baseball sent me a notification zoom back out here you can see I get a story right here can read it like this I have another notification from a website this one for an item I'm following on gilt get a notification that's available that looks really like just what I need I can buy it right now and what's great is with iCloud keychain and Mavericks my passwords are synced across all my devices so I can log right in without having to remember or type my password while we're here in Safari let's take a look at our great new top sites view and on the Left here you see shared links so I can click to view an article here's a nice one about Apple's new campus for one look forward to working in outer space so I can just your back right to my list and do searches so for instance I can search for story shared that have Mars in it I can click in like this and we have a great new reader view as well looks really nice and as I scroll through the articles with safaris accelerated scrolling I can go right from the end of one article right into the next just continuously it's really just a fantastic way to read as you can imagine this is about a good time for another notification here's one right here for my friend Nina who's just in town and she wants to apparently meet at Coit Tower now with data detectors I can actually just click on this and get a view right of the time and appointment but what's great is when I go into our great new calendar app you notice it's also extracted the location it's even shown me a map of that location and the weather expected for that time and because calendar is completely location aware it also knows where my previous appointment is and it can actually let me know how long it'll take to travel from one spot to the other I can drive or walk and it looks like it's gonna be a nice day so I'll go ahead and walk you notice it marks out the travel time right here on my calendar and I can ask to be alerted on my phone and computer when I need to leave now I'm just gonna click right into this map be taken into our great Maps app so of course we have multi-touch gestures we see quite tower here I can zoom I can pan the map around like this and we have a satellite view with of course flyover and it just looks gorgeous looking into the city here you can see the route that I can travel up to Coit Tower and when I'm ready to go I can just go right up here to the share menu and send it to my iPhone where it appears in my lock screen I can swipe right in to turn-by-turn directions for my route so that's a quick demo of Mavericks so that's maverick it's a fantastic release that extends your battery life gets more out of your memory accelerates your graphics has great features across the system and some really fun new apps but you know for those of us that work on Mavericks what's most important to us is seeing the software in the hands of as many Mac users as possible we want to get them all the latest technologies the most innovative features and the kind of robust security that's only possible through deep infrastructural enhancements and so in the last for the last several years we've been on a mission we've re-engineered our development process so we can put out regular major releases that renew your Mac all the time and we've reinvented reinvented the way we distribute OS 10 so now upgrading your OS is as easy as downloading an app from the Mac App Store but today we're going to revolutionize pricing because the days of spending hundreds of dollars to get the most out of your computer are gone today we announce a new era for the Mac because today we're announcing that Mavericks is free three is good so we're doing free and not a small way whether you have our latest release mountain lion or even if you never upgraded you're still running lion

Mini introduced in 2009 or even an iMac introduced way back in 2007 you're entitled to Mavericks and again it's available for free and the best part it's available today
