Free update already on the up and up

Apple’s latest update for operating system update for Mac is now on 5.5% of Mac computers and that number is increasing fast. Advertising network Chitika reports that Mavericks has been downloaded three times as fast as last year’s Mountain Lion update within the first 24 hours. The main reason for this success is that this year’s update is free. Apple initially charged Mac owners US$20 for Mountain Lion, and even more for previous versions. I haven't yet installed Mavericks, but if you have a Mac and you're on Mountain Lion or earlier, you should get in while the getting's good. And if your machine's running a crappy alternative like Windows or Linux, then get a Mac. It'll be worth it.
