From my own experience ("torture" more like), what functionality I did have with ARD 3.6.1 running on my 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 iMac running OS 10.8, it totally and completely FAILED with both updates.... OS 10.9 and ARD 3.7. My clients only showed up 1/3 of the time, my existing clients in my list would actually appear then disappear (flashing on and off) and forget about any scheduled tasks pre-defined. I ended up taking another iMac, running 10.7 and installing ARD, updating it to 3.7. COMPLETELY USELESS and a waste of my time. I THEN took another iMac, installed 10.7 and ARD but only to 3.6.1 and it worked.... for ONLY 1 WEEK. ARD become so corrupted, that it wouldn't even launch. FINALLY, I erased the HD AGAIN, installed OS 10.7 again and ARD 3.6.1. At this moment, it's running and I was even able to make a Time Machine backup. We'll see how long it lasts. Therefore, my advice would be to NOT install OS 10.9, keep your Mac at 10.8 and update no further than ARD 3.6.1. Until Apple gets the message that ARD NEEDS A COMPLETE REWRITE and NOT A SIMPLE ".1 update", we'll have to settle for a sub-standard product.
Best of Luck,

Oh, and by NO MEANS is my current setup 100%!!!!! I have the following errors....
1) Clients showing as "inactive" are actually "active"
2) Clients showing as "active" are actually "inactive"
3) Scheduled tasks would FAIL, showing "not authorized" BUT if I submit the same command manually, it works ***????
4) I would make a "New List", edit the name and it would revert back to the default name.
5) My icons in the toolbar would disappear only to reappear ONLY if I quit and relaunch
6) I find it VERY ANNOYING when selecting active clients to submit a UNIX command only to have my selection negated by one of my scheduled tasks running.
7) After "Controlling" a client, my ARD master list would then show that same client as inactive, no longer able to receive UNIX commands. I would have to quit out, relaunch and regain control.... talk about a waste of time???????
8) Can't organize my Templates within UNIX Command (nice to have sub-folders)
9) When editing a template or scheduled task in the sidebar, the existing name of the command reverts back to "Untitled". I have to create a new command with my change and then delete the older command. Again, a waste of time!!!!
I'm hoping someone from the Apple ARD team sees this and has the initative to starting programming and come out with an ARD 4.0 and NOT a 3.7.1.
