Apple's OS X Yosemite Available Today As A Free Upgrade

(RTTNews) - Apple Inc. (AAPL) said Thursday that desktop operating system OS X Yosemite is available as a free upgrade for Mac® users from the Mac App Store.

OS X Yosemite has been redesigned with a fresh, modern look, while maintaining the power and familiarity users expect from a Mac. Streamlined toolbars make more room for your content, and use translucency to reveal additional app content as you scroll. Other translucent elements, such as window sidebars, take on the feel of your desktop picture and give you a sense of what's hidden behind the active window. App icons have a clean, consistent design, and a new system font improves readability on every Mac and looks stunning on a Retina display.

Yosemite introduces Continuity features that make it easy to hand off activities between Mac and iOS devices and even make and receive iPhone® calls from one's Mac.
