Earlier this year at its Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple announced OS X 10.9 Mavericks. This is the first time in years that Apple has not named a major OS X release after a big cat. That’s not the only change that has been made. Mavericks brings as many as 200 new features and improvements. Since WWDC 2013, Mavericks has only been available to developers. Apple is yet to roll it out to the public, who are without a doubt anxiously waiting for it. It appears that Apple is already readying OS X 10.9.1 update which is expected to be released soon after Mavericks goes live.

Last friday Apple seeded the GM build of Mavericks, after which it was reported that the team has now moved on to developing OS X 10.10, the next major OS update that’s expected next year. Rumor has it that Apple has internally seeded a number of OS X 10.9.1 builds to its employees. It is not expected to bring any major features, only bug fixes and performance improvements are likely to be onboard. A rumor suggests that perhaps OS X 10.9.1 might bring the ability to block iMessages and FaceTime calls from certain contacts, though there has been no confirmation of that as yet. Apple hasn’t provided a concrete release date for OS X Mavericks, though it is believed that the launch will take place towards the end of this month through the Mac App Store.

The writing has been on the wall for quite some time for Microsoft’s venerable Windows XP operating system already, but this does not mean that folks have taken the step to make an upgrade from that reliable OS to Windows 7 or Windows 8. Perhaps one would need more convincing to make the upgrade jump, and Microsoft has done their bit to make sure that large businesses “get the message” in order to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 or Windows 8 prior to the support deadline of April 8, 2014. It seems as though the folks over at Dell, too, want to do their bit in promoting Windows XP users to make the operating system upgrade through a new ad that you can see above.

This particular clip does seem to be targeting IT managers specifically, especially those who have delayed on their respective companies’ Windows upgrade plans. The animated video touts that workers in the IT department are able to leave the upgrade process to Dell’s Windows Migration Services, where it is touted to help businesses save both time and money – something that the higher management always loves to hear, regardless of how their own Windows XP upgrade plans are at right now.
