I have been looking at the Mavericks OS comments.

Is it possible the people that have had problems are updating from older versions, such as 10.6.  instead of the later 10.7..'s ?
And the speed of their internet would cause crashes and glitches in the program?
I would like to do the upgrade, but as I've had no issues with what I've got, I'm worried about installing the new operating system.
Any clues on why some have had terrible results and others love it?
I am currently using 10.6.8 and have a mid to slow ADSL connection.
Should I or should I not???

Actually, I have both the old Pages and Numbers  (from iWork 09 retail install DVD) as well as the new stand alone, free to download, Pages and Numbers from the app store (free on new Macs or when you have the older retail version installed - the new version was offered automatically to me free of charge; you must have Mavericks installed). The Pages 4.3 (from iWork 09) works perfectly well with mavericks - I am using it since I've decided to ignore the new version for the time being.
You may have an older iWork version? Or possibly Appleworks? Those are no longer supported.
The new version of Pages has lost some functionalities, so, after testing it, I've decided to ignore it until Apple puts back some features. If you do use the new version, be advised that you cannot open a doc in the old version once you've changed it in the version. In any case, both version co-exist on my MBP; installing the new version will not "update" the old one - it is installed as a totally different version.
@ Lex Schelling: Sorry, I can't agree; when I first installed Lion>ML>Mavericks, my MBP was sluggish as he.. - and that was before I ever tried to do any video work. As soon as I doubled the RAM to 8 GB, things were suddenly smooth. The behavior didn't change with the OS upgrades even though Mavericks supposedly has better memory management; Apple sent a reply to my bug report explaining that the increased memory usage was expected due to the 64 bit architecture. My personal, unqualfied opinion: I don't think it's efficient memory management when kernel_task takes up to 1 GB continuously, leaving you with only 3 to work with or, put another way, using 3 GB when the only apps open are a browser and Mail. But, that's my personal (and, as I said, totally unqualified) opinion.
