“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Mavericks

Please tell me this isn't happening.

Please tell me Apple isn't going back to its early 90s post-Jobs form. Now that Jobs is definitively post.

Before you tell me that, can you tell me why I have two folders called Hotmail in Mail?

Why I can't read half the PDFs I have?

Why the autofill function in Word is now just a bunch of symbols?

Why Filemaker Pro took five minutes to load?

And on and on and on and on.

That's awful. I haven't experienced any of those issues (except the filemaker pro took a long time to load). As a matter of fact, the switch to mavericks was the smoothest OS upgrade in my life. I have a few minor quibbles, but I also have noticeably improved battery life, and a few other things I use. What you are describing was what I feared, but thankfully didn't happen to me.

Good luck.

what else can be expected of proprietary operating systems?

proprietary operating systems are not your friend.

i'd HIGHLY recommend learning about gnu/linux and trying to move all your computing onto a free operating system such as Debian.

Filemaker Pro 12 works with Mavericks. Versions below that number are untested and may or may not work. http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12643/~/filemaker-11-and-earlier-versions%2C-os-x-mavericks-compatibility
