Things like this is why I'm leery of upgrading.  But I also see no 
reason to upgrade.  From reading Apple's Mavericks page, it sounds like 
the major changes are mostly better interoperability with iOS.  I don't 
have a single iOS device, so that means nothing to me.  Tabbed browsing 
I solved some time ago using XtraFinder (free).  Tags, which aren't the 
magic jelly bean for searches some think it is, are supported by 
PathFinder 6 which I also have installed.

I have Mountain Lion installed with two boot partitions.  I wonder if, 
destroying one by Mavericks would also destroy the ability to boot from 
the other partition.

The couple times I've used Time Machine to restore my computer due to my 
errors, it's worked fine.
