As detailed in our comprehensive OS X Yosemite roundup, the new operating system brings a new iOS 7-style design with an emphasis on translucency, smarter controls, and streamlined toolbars.


There are also several new features, including Continuity, which expands integration between iOS 8 and OS X, allowing users to accept phone calls on their Macs and seamlessly transition tasks from one device to another. Yosemite also includes iCloud Drive, plus new features and designs for several key apps like Mail, Messages, and Safari.

Tried clicking the download for Mavericks. Started downloading and the icon is the one for Yosemite. 5.33 GB download. Will let everyone know if it's actually Yosemite.

SPOILER ALERT:
It's going to be Mavericks.
