That rift continues to be the case with 4.0, and I don’t expect Server to ever grow past where it is now, market-wise. That deep-seated change has left OS X Server easier to use, but less powerful on the high-end of things. OS X Server is generally updated with OS X, but that hasn’t been the case with Yosemite so far. With that change, OS X Server is now just $19.99, a far cry from the $499 price tag it used to demand for unlimited users. Starting with OS X Lion, OS X Server is no longer a separate operating system, but rather a bundle of utilities and programs that are installed on top of OS X itself. $19.99 on the Mac App Store | 3 stars with 86 ratings The current version of OS X Yosemite is 10.0.1 and was updated on November 17, 2014. All-in-all, I’m happy with Yosemite, but clearly that sentiment isn’t universal. The poor performance is plaguing Yosemite in its App Store ratings, but many users are underwhelmed or confused by the new UI or features.

Let’s revisit that, and see how things shape up here at the end of 2014. Back in May of 2013, I took a look at all of Apple’s software in the Mac App Store and walked away with the conclusion that a lot of Apple’s first-party Mac apps were in pretty sorry shape.
