Coming this Fall and with the Open Beta coming out soon, OS X El Capitan brings us more features and performance upgrades. Apple Announced features so far are: Split View Improved Mission Control Smarter Spotlight Improved Mail (iOS-like swipe gestures, and Tabs) Highly-improved Notes (attachments, to-do lists) Added editing tools for Photos Pinned sites for Safari Improved Maps (with Transit information) Metal So, what features are you looking forward to?
hahahaha, where have you been? anyways, if your mac runs yosemite it can run el capitan - imac (mid 2007 or later) - macbook (13 inch, aluminum, late 2008), (13 inch, early 2009 or later) - macbook pro (13 inch, nid 2009 or later), 15 inch, mid/late 2007 or later), 17 inch, late 2007 or later) - macbook air (late 2008 or later) - mac mini (early 2009 or later) - mac pro (early 2008 or later) - xserve (early 2009)
I hope Metal for OS X will improve game graphics performance even for Macs using integrated graphics.
I normally wait 3-6 months before moving on to a new OS version. Just migrated to Yosemite a couple of months ago so it's still a bit difficult to say what I want from El Capitan. The new/upgraded features mentioned by @johannes doesn't really make me want to get the new OS right away. For me the last OS that really made me want to make the jump was Lion.
Still on Mountain Lion, having problems with my audio interface drivers specifically for Intel Dual Core Machines (iMac Late 2009)... hmm.. maybe I should get a newer interface...
perhaps am expecting too much when i say i just want a radically new look and feel of the OS. Like from Windows 3.11 to Windows 7, for example hehe .... Apart from than. I'll always want stability, and good battery management. If this will be more stable and yet lighter in resources than the previous version, then I'll be happy

They're doing places in California for the code names. Yellowstone is in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. ;-) Leo
During the last WWDC, anti-Apple critics were quick to say there was no innovation, everything was just a copy of Google... but there's one big one they missed, one that Google can never be. From Walt Mossberg. Walt Mossberg: Apple’s Latest Product Is Privacy | Re/code Leo
Here's David Pogue's review of El Capitan: https://www.yahoo.com/tech/the-pogue-review-apples-os-x-el-capitan-preview-121571990539.html And other features not mentioned during the keynote: https://www.yahoo.com/tech/the-pogue-review-18-new-mac-el-capitan-features-121597016169.html
"Resize or move the Spotlight window. You can now make the Spotlight window taller, as shown above—but not, weirdly, wider. You can also drag it around your screen. For example, if you like to use Spotlight as a calculator (yes, you can type, for example, “37*12” into it to get the result), you can now park the window at the edge of your screen so you can keep working in your main program. (Undocumented tip: To restore the Spotlight window to its original size and position, hold the cursor down on the Spotlight icon—the magnifying-glass—at the top right of your screen.)" THIS!
