Improved OpenGL 4.+ support? No.

Improvements in WiFi (for some)? No.

SMB and AFP improvements? Nope.

Hmmm, well, rMBP graphics improvement? Nope, still glitchy.

Ummm, Finder improvements for large volumes? Haven't noticed.

Oh, wait, improvements in Facebook, Twitter and iOS integration! Awesome!

Can't wait for Facebook Home in OS X 10.9!
