Any of my Apple loving friends out there notice that the recent version of OS X Yosemite is buggy as all get out? It frequently locks up requiring a reboot and sometimes gives a “screen of death.” Running on a 2013 Mac Book Pro Retina, so no way to blame “strange” or “bad” hardware.

If so, Windows 8/10 will eventually eat their lunch unless they come out with a nice touch interface for OS X soon.
