Tim Cook (CEO of Apple, Inc.) is the one who has tweaked the “Mac OS X” to the next level or I should say to the advanced level, which was never done before. Apple launched an update for the tenth version of Mac OS X called OS X 10.9 Mavericks. No doubt, this time Apple bundled some interesting and newer features in OS X 10.9 Mavericks, as well as upgraded some existing apps. In simpler words, I can say that the new OS X 10.9 Mavericks is full of surprises. It doesn’t end here, to show the World what they have got, the brand new Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks is available for free to download from Apple’s Mac App Store.
Continually, to support the latest version of OS X, the Mac App Store is also updated. Not only that, hundreds of various new apps are added to the Mac App Store that are worth checking out. However, we all are habituated to download only that apps which are available for free of cost. Just think for a second, if free version can provide you everything then paid version never exists! Indeed, the paid apps gives an access to an extra-ordinary features that gives precise and desired output.

I use couple of the apps you mentioned in your post. These are Cobook Contacts and Keynote. I have recently switched to Mac after using Windows for several years and it is surely much better than Windows in terms of performance. At the start I was having some trouble with installing some of the programs but thanks to this wonderful post at macinfo.us I have now full command on how to install and uninstall apps on a Mac.
