we got a chance to check out Mac os10 Mavericks over the past couple of days and with new apps new features and other improvements there's plenty to show off start off the new finder tabs work much in the same way the tabs doing Safari a plus sign button on the right lets you open a new tab and you can drag and drop tabs just like in a web browser you can have one tab for airdrop and another for documents then drag and drop files to airdrop to send to a co-worker Finder windows can be expanded to full screen mode as well to make it easier to organize and find documents there's also a new tagging system in Mavericks now you can add multiple tags to documents so you can search on one or more tags to get to the exact files you want when saving a file you can pick a color pic from standard tags like work or home or assign your own tag now to get all the documents that share a tag you can select it in the left navigation of the finder or search for it via spotlight next the calendar I've got a facelift in a bit more functionality this key morphic leather-bound look is gone replaced by clean lines and interface elements to draw your attention to what's important a streamlined event inspector will autocomplete location addresses give you driving time to your destination and present you with a map click it to see the destination in the Maps app and yes if you haven't heard Apple maps will soon be on your Mac and even though it's been somewhat maligned it has improved quite a lot over time and I think it's a useful addition to Mavericks Apple maps is integrated with your calendar like I showed a second ago but you also can get quick directions from contacts and you can quickly view an address in the mail app when exploring the map on your Mac it's a great experience letting you switch views like you do in iOS and using 3d flyover on the trackpad as well as smooth and looks great so far I got some interface upgrades as well a personal favorite of mine is the new sidebar where you can click bookmarks on the left and quickly sift through websites on the right you also have easy access to your reading list top sites gets a new flatter look in Mavericks and it's easier to customize just drag and drop tiles where you want them or you can pull out a bookmark and place it on top sites for easy access that's all we have time for today but there's a lot more to Mavericks than what we've shown here you can get more info about the new iCloud keychain better multiple display support notifications with updates from your favorite sites and more am I written review for cnet apple says Mavericks will become available later this fall but we still haven't heard about pricing information or an exact release date thanks for watching everybody i'm jason parker for cnet and this has been a first look at mac OS 10 Mavericks see you next time
