Is Mavericks Working On Brand New Macs?

Question

I've read a great deal of discussion of problems some users are having with Mavericks.   I'm wondering if these problems are limited to those upgrading an older version of OSX, or if those purchasing new Macs are experiencing the same issues.
I had problems with Mavericks too, but I'm on a five year old machine with only 2gigs of RAM, so that may be the explanation.   This isn't a problem for me, but if I experienced the same problems on a brand new machine it would be.
Is anybody having Mavericks problems on a new machine?
Thanks.

Hi again R C-R, thanks for the followup.
Have you noticed that no one in this thread except me has suggested that the problems many users are experiencing with Mavericks might be the fault of those who wrote, released and labeled the software as ready for general public users?  This is the Apple community culture I'm pointing to. 
It's my thesis that this "Apple can do no wrong" culture is a large part of the reason why when a typical general public Mac user installs a new OS she really has no way of knowing whether the new OS will enhance her computing life, or turn it in to a nightmare. 
I'm not on the warpath against Apple.  I am however attempting to address this problem at it's source which is  Apple, and you and me, regular Mac users, and our relationship with Apple and it's quality control procedures.  If we're willing to rationalize mediocrity again and again for years, mediocrity is what we'll all get.   That's not good for us, or for Apple either. 
Please note that you have largely ignored my suggested solution, probably because to address it would require an admission that it is Apple, and not it's users or third party developers, who is the core problem here.
Eventually, perhaps in version 9.8, most of the problems with Mavericks will be ironed out, just as has been the case in most previous versions of OSX. 
What's so wrong about labeling a new OS as beta until that level of maturity arrives?  It can still be released, but honestly labeling it as beta would alert all Mac users to the fact that the new OS is probably going to cause a lot of problems for a lot of people. 
The solution can be as simple as Apple publicly advising inexperienced users to not upgrade to Mavericks until a later version such as 9.8.  More experienced users can be invited to test Mavericks on test drives, and file bug reports as necessary. 
See? Such honesty and good communication costs Apple nothing.  Such honesty and good communication does not prevent anyone from trying Mavericks if they wish to.  All the problems you listed are easily overcome, if there's a will to overcome them.  The problem is, there is no will.
The problem is that a zillion inexperienced Mac users all over the world have been upgrading to Mavericks upon Apple's advice, having a horrible time, and losing their faith in Apple bit by bit as a result. 
PS:  It might be helpful for you to know that when I came to the forum I posted a question hoping someone could educate me as to why Apple releases software the way it does.  I'm a programmer myself with 20 years of experience working online, but I don't know everything, so maybe there are factors involved that could be explained to all of us, so we'd understand why it's necessary for so many Mac users to suffer.  My posts was VERY polite,  a sincere request for education, and not a complaint.
That post was deleted in less than 2 minutes.  
Wouldn't it be smarter for Apple to address these questions?
Wouldn't it be smarter for them to explain why beta software can't just be labeled beta software?
Thanks again!
