The attraction isn't there for them yet. At our office we go with the latest release so we find out if our apps falter sooner than if an user reports it. Everyday folk can just stick with what they have for years.

What are the problems - so far - with Yosemite
Mar 5, 2015 3:55AM PST

So, if I install this new version of the OS how many software packages will I be losing this time around.

What are some of the other problems incurred with this new OS version?

How many drivers will I have to be updating?

How much of a RAM Hog is this new version? I only have 4 Gig of RAM, so it it is going to take up 3/4 of that just to run . . . . . . . ???

I'd start a new post.

Since there's no list of your apps no one can guess what you might lose.

There are some machines (like a certain 2011 Mini) that had WiFi woes on resume from sleep. Outside of that some blast the OS for us having to forget old networks and set it up again. To me that's pretty normal but then I deal with machines that run all sorts of OSes.

As to RAM. This OS should use every byte of RAM even if for a trivia reason. RAM beats HD access everytime.
