Windows users will scoff at the Split View, which allows you to place two apps running side-by-side on each half of the screen, as Windows has had a similar Snap option for years. Window-management turns out to be another area of improvement in El Capitan.

However, developers will need to update their apps in order to use Metal, so it may take some time before its benefits are fully appreciated. Metal promises to make better use of both the CPU and GPU in Mac systems, which should result in significant performance improvements for professional apps such as Photoshop, as well as the many animations and graphical effects that are used within the Mac's graphical interface. More significant in the long term is the introduction of Metal, the graphics API that made its debut with iOS 8 last year.

It's hard to put a precise figure on these improvements, but El Capitan did feel quite snappy and responsive on our three-year-old office iMac, and business users will be happy to know that they can upgrade the operating system without incurring additional costs to upgrade their hardware as well.

The basic system requirements for El Capitan are the same as those for Yosemite, but Apple claims that applications will now launch up to 40 percent faster, while switching between apps is almost twice as fast, and opening large PDF files in the Preview app is almost four times faster. In fact, much of Apple's focus for this release has been on fine-tuning performance in order to provide a smoother, more responsive user experience. There are few entirely new features in this version of OS X.

Even so, IT managers will probably want to watch the initial reaction from early adopters before downloading the free upgrade. There have been few reports of major bugs in the preview, so hopefully El Capitan will get off to a smoother start than its predecessor.
