Call me a cynical old grump, but for me 10.9 has something of a "free lunch" feel about it.
You see, I'm still on 10.7 partly 'cause I vaguely remember that a move to 10.8 will mean quite a few application updates – few of them I suspect will be free. So I wonder how many 10.7 users like me will download and install 10.9 without thinking and then find half their apps don't work. I bet all the app vendors just can't believe their luck. So am I just being a cynical old grump? Does anybody know if there's any 10.8/10.9 app compatibility resources out there that I can trust to be accurate? I'd be interested to know just how "free" an update to 10.9 will be.
