Apple announced today that the long-awaited OS X Mavericks will be available today. Even more importantly, Apple’s latest desktop OS will be available as a free download.

Introduced back in June during WWDC 2013, OS X Mavericks is a major update in comparison to its predecessor, which includes refreshed native apps, as well as look and feel which bring it close in line with the iOS 7 aesthetics.

The OS update will be available for all devices running Mac OS Snow Leopard an above. The list of compatible hardware goes back all the way to the iMac and MacBook Pro from 2007.

The free distribution of OS X Mavericks continues the trend from Apple to offer key software and apps for free. During the iPhone announcement last month, the Cupertino giant announced that its productivity package for iOS will be free as well.
