Abstract: El Capitan is a tock release. Most of the Apple IT professionals I've spoken to are excited by what's under the hood.The biggest feature you may never notice is the enhanced security of El Capitan, which involves Apple doing all it can to protect users fr...

Abstract: After the visual overhaul Apple gave to Yosemite, it's perhaps no surprise that this year's desktop and laptop refresh is altogether more muted. This is a step rather than a leap forward, but there are still a lot of little improvements that are worth the...
Despite its somewhat clunky implementation, Split View is a welcome, sorely needed addition. The ability to easily get a couple of apps side-by-side for an intense multitasking session means there is no need to fiddle with manually resizing and placing wi
Despite its utility, Split View feels cumbersome compared to Microsoft's implementation in Windows. Anyone that has used Snap on Windows 7, 8 or 10 is likely familiar with the simple click-and-drag gesture used to invoke it, and Apple would have done well
OS X El Capitan isn't going to please anyone looking for a revolution, but it's a solid update overall. Between the performance improvements, new app features, and multitasking tweaks, there's no reason not to dislike what Apple has accomplished here. And...
There are lots of new features in Windows 10 and we certainly like it a lot, but there's also little doubt that Microsoft is still playing catch-up with OS X in many key areas, including security and desktop features. Windows 10 is undoubtedly more secure...
Faster performance, Frequent updates and fixes, Improved Notes app, System font, 'Shake to find' cursor feature
Some features remain buggy and unreliable four months on, Mail misbehaving, Disk Utility loses features we liked
We hoped that El Capitan would be a sort of modern Snow Leopard: an OS with relatively few new features but much faster and more reliable performance compared to its predecessor. El Capitan is certainly faster than Yosemite, but it's dogged by reliability...
OS X El Capitan takes the foundation set in place by Yosemite and builds upon it ever so slightly. There are no revolutionary new features or redesigns to be found here, but the tweaks and polish make it a solid update worth grabbing...
Very fast and responsive, Superior usability to Yosemite, Pinned tabs for Safari
Split screen functionality isn't that useful
Let's cut to the quick: El Capitan is brilliant, and you should upgrade from Yosemite as fast as your broadband pipe will allow. It's fast, clever, dashed attractive and will do just about everything you'd ever want to do. Oh, and it's free. Is this the...
Abstract: El Capitan (OS X Version 10.11) downloaded in four hours, though that was immediately after it became available. I imagine the time would be significantly less when some of the hype has passed.The update itself took a relatively brisk 30 minutes, and comp...
