Nope...  It can go both ways.

"The pronoun neither, then, is not invariably singular, though it is 
more often so. When formal agreement obtains, it takes a singular verb. 
When notional agreement obtains, it takes either a singular or plural 
verb. These constructions are neither nonstandard or [sic] erroneous. 
If you are writing something in a highly formal style, you will 
probably want to use formal agreement throughout. Otherwise, follow 
your own inclination in choosing singular or plural constructions after 
neither."

But 

you got the other part right on the money.  I'm a (graphics) 
professional who finds the Mac FAR superior that any other OS.

So far, I'm liking Yosemite - minus a few shortcomings.  The real test 
will be whether it's faster and more stable going forward.
