El Cap on a 2007 iMac - jonny - 09-13-2015
Just loaded El Cap on my 2007 iMac. (Snow Leopard would not sync with iOS 9). It is slower... but not nearly as slow as Yosemite was (which was like pulling teeth.) Apps take longer to load, but once they're up, they seem to run nearly as fast. Interestingly, it sleeps instantaneously.

Interesting... I wouldn't have guessed this outcome... is that machine officially supported?

Yup.

That's encouraging, how much RAM? Rotating drive (5400 or 7200?) or SSD?

What is the latest civilian version of Yosemite?
10.10.5? Or is that the Dev version?

10.10.5 is the latest version. It seems unlikely there will be a 10.10.6, with any additional security patches requiring upgrade to El Cap - which is still in beta but will be released on September 30.

The more frequently I hear stuff like this, the more convinced I become that, were Jobs to rise from the grave today, he would sack anyone at Apple who had anything to do with unleashing Yosemite upon an unsuspecting world.

Just remember that he was the one that unleashed Lion on the world.
