[QUOTE="Strong, post: 1604776, member: 333097"] For the last ~7 years I've used a black Macbook with 10.6, and just today got a mid 2013 Macbook Air with 10.9.4. I haven't really followed OSX after I decided I didn't want 10.7 since 10.6 would be faster. At the time I followed Apple pretty closely. Is 10.9 as fast as 10.6? I assume that my MBA's 1.3 i5 is much faster than the MB's 2.4 C2D. After getting the computer I immediately reinstalled 10.9 from the app store, why didn't all my files get erased? I expected a clean install. I don't trust a computer that retains data after an OS installation. On that note, is 10.9 still secure? Can I bootcamp Windows 7/XP? What I really want to know is what the major changes since 10.6 are. I really enjoyed the optimization that was done in 10.6, has much on the technical side of OSX happened? I'm good with computers and understand the technology, I just haven't kept up on OSX. [/QUOTE]
