The new OS X 10.10.4 system, named "Yosemite" (Yosemite), has a new interface design and some feature updates, here's a look.
A Flat interface, further integration into iOS features

Notification Center further enhanced, new all-day notification function, and support the weather, stocks and other small plug-ins, usability enhancement.

Like icloud, icloud Drive supports the Windows platform, which means that many Windows users can easily exchange data with their iOS devices. Of course, similar third-party applications already spread across Windows and iOS platforms, but we expect icloud Drive to provide a much better usage experience.
