What about Finder improvements? The performance of Finder from Mavericks to Yosemite on my MBPr 15" (16GB RAM) decreased significantly. I have folder of about 3,000 items that I routinely perform commands on. With Mavericks, simply selecting all the deleting took about 3 seconds; with Yosemite, about 30 seconds. I have a few stories like these. Sad.
Looking forward to updating. I hope it will fix the wifi issue that has been annoyingly difficult to fix.
Thank you, Apple. Hopefully it will fix the crappy connection.
The bluetooth muse issue somewhat still exists, although its better bluetooth mouse latency is still present. I'm very surprised Apple released this OS this way
The Mail app seems like it's never fully sorted from bugs over 3 or so major releases now? Maybe it's time for a rewrite from the ground up.
