[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1639696, member: 56379"] Well…we could use the same logic with Yosemite. Yosemite is newer than both Mountain Lion and Mavericks…so why not just upgrade all the way to the newest Mac OS??;) Also by the way. Unless you downloaded Mavericks previously. Mavericks is not currently available. But to answer your question more directly. I usually upgrade my OS if: - It has features that I must have. - I have hardware that requires the newer OS. - I have software that requires the new OS. - Somehow the performance of the things that I do will be enhanced with the newer OS. If I have no logical reason to upgrade. Then I stick with what I got (why "fix" what ain't broken)??;) If Mountain Lion is running smoothly for you…what happens if the upgrade to Mavericks (or Yosemite)…turns out to be a big headache?? Downgrading is usually not that easy. This is just my way of doing it.:) Other folks like to "jump into the pool" with both feet!;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
