The main workspace has been kept the same while Apple has been working on just how to improve the performance of the system. In this sense the result is really astonishing, judging by the smooth yield with new and old computers. In order to improve the performance of new build computers, the developer has included an advanced level of support for 64-bit processors.

This free space can be used to install an additional Windows partition with the new improved Boot Camp, so you will have access to any kind of program, no matter which OS it has been developed for.
