[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1836376, member: 396914"] Yeah, it was a huge change, dropping 32 bit, changing how the drive is structured, tightening up security, more integration with iOS devices. One wonders if they should have staged this release over multiple smaller drops instead of one big splash followed by "fix" releases. If it were me, I'd drop public Beta testing and concentrate on quality testing from trusted sources. Throwing it out there and expecting the average user to actually test and report back doesn't have the rigor that a release this big needs. That said, given how big the changes were, it's surprising there are not more issues. I think saying, "probably go down in history as one of their worst public releases ever" is a bit over reacting, but if you haven't installed it yourself, all you can rely on are the over-active pundits. For me, once I had the 32-bit software sorted out the upgrade went well. [/QUOTE]
