Recently got a refurbished Macbook Air for mah burfdai, decided what the hell, I'll update to Mac OS X Yosemite.
This was a mistake, and probably one that's going to (finally) swear me off OS X; the primary constituent in this decision lay in Yosemite's nasty propensity to phone home at every opportunity with information that is one level above what I'm comfortable with (spotlight searches = the entire internal file structure of your hard drives and their contents, apparently).
[cues people going on about how one gives away even more personal information in other contexts, etc. etc.]
It's a pity. I really liked Spaces.
