iOS 8 was initially a disaster on my iPad2. Battery consumption was up,
speed was down and it screwed up my cell connection. The cell
connection is essential to me 'cause I use it to take credit card
payments when I'm away from my office. It was inconsistent and would
come and go at random. If I really needed it my option was to reboot
the iPad - frustrating, when you have a customer standing there with
credit card in hand. And the kid at the Apple store was more interested
in selling me a new iPad than admitting that the OS was the problem.
But...iOS 8.1 fixed it all. Battery is back to where it was, speed is
better and my cell connection works like it's supposed to work.
I even got the iPad to shake hands with the iPhone 5s so I can send text
messages to non-iOS phones.

What’s the skinny on the new OSX? It’s supposed to provide more iPHone support,

Any fans or foes here?
The only glitch I've run into is that my older version of VMWare Fusion
(v5.something) stopped working after my update. Oh well, it was time to get
current anyways.
Other than that: I've made my laptop freeze up entirely by turning on a bluetooth headset
for music, then going into messages and clicking "preferences / audio-video" so
I've decided (after it happened twice) to just not do that anymore.
LR5 works as snappy as ever, Safari is blazing fast, and battery life is just
great!
I'm happy to hear iOS8.1 is better on performance. I have a couple of friends
who put v8 on their 4s devices and have been a bit disappointed in the speed.
