Any company considering mobile use of Apple's OS X should consider the impact of the recently released Yosemite version and the way it has increased user interest. According to a piece for ComputerWorld by Gregg Keizer, Yosemite has seen an 85 percent jump over the 2012 edition, the fastest yet for an incarnation of OS X, a free update that has triumphed over the Mavericks OS X edition released last year.
As Keizer writes, the free updates system is one of Apple's new and distinguishing features that, until recently, has set it apart from Windows' download policy. It can also be seen as a way to help more users keep their devices up to date.
This isn't to say that Yosemite has not come with its share of user-noted issues. TechRepublic's Jesus Vigo recently commented on some of the problems that Yosemite users have experienced, including inconstant connectivity and stalled bootup issues. Although users have the chance to upgrade to this newer edition more easily now and fix some issues with installation, this isn't the cure-all solution that some might think it is, according to him.
"The downside to upgrading is that any issues that existed with OS X previously will continue to plague the system after upgrading to Yosemite," he writes. "Also, possible incompatibilities with apps or corrupt files might be enough to destabilize OS X Yosemite, and it may lead to some of the known bugs users have been experiencing."
