Watched the keynote on this last night, quite like the look of the new features and UI.

At last, they're got rid of that horrible 3D dock which you can't hack in 10.9.

Agreed, I miss my no glass

Meh. Bring back the Leopard Dock. 2D docks are for losers!

Phate · 20 Jun 2014 at 12:02

I always liked the 3D dock! Not sure why so many were against it

I wanted to reinstall Mavericks anyway so put Yosemite on first. I really like it but unsurprisingly the DP1 isn't ready for a production environment. i'll probably reinstall as a VM so I can have a play with Swift and Xcode 6

Has anyone managed to get handoff to work nicely. I can't get mine to work at all. Seems like it is completely hit or miss with everyone. I know that you must have a relatively recent iPhone / mac but I have a 5s and a 2013 rMBP.

You've got Bluetooth switched on on both devices?

fez · 23 Jun 2014 at 17:44

Yeah I've tried all the troubleshooting guides and nothing works. From what I have seen its a bit of luck if it works.

Phate · 23 Jun 2014 at 18:24

Maybe on the DP it just isn't working yet?

Geezer, that's far too sensible a thing to say.

fez · 24 Jun 2014 at 12:33

Oh it definitely works for plenty of people, I was just wondering if any anyone here has had it working for them.

Any chance someone with Yosemite installed can check to see if you can play an animation codec video with quicktime without it converting? (and if you can spacebar preview it?)

Anyone?

new mac pro looks amazing with this os i think it will change the way some people will look at macs. its just a shame the price is always so high

I have just bitten the bullet and upgraded my main machine to Yosemite DP3 from Mavericks. I backed up first with Time Machine of course.

So far I am loving it and no bugs noticed over the last 2 hours. Feels snappier than Mavericks and much much cleaner looking. I have tested the following programs so far which are working:

Parallels 9 with Windows 8.1
Office 2011
iWorks
Lightroom 2014
Photoshop 2014
Spotify
Coda 2
Quip
Tweetdeck
Clear
Caffeinated
Evernote
CleanMyMac 2 Beta
SofaPlay
VLC

I really hope they stop Mail sucking a large bag of phallus

I picked up Airmail, was £1 and its been amazing.

Also really digging the dark mode, hoping it expands too the windows too.

I gave airmail a go, but it uses more memory than the regular mail app.

For those who have the latest Yosemite beta, can you access iCloud drive offline, like with google drive and dropbox?

At the moment I checkout svn repositories to my google drive. That way my projects are backed up three times (svn repo, google drive, Time Machine). I wanted to do the same thing with iCloud drive.

Seems to work fine on DP4.

DP4 is fantastic, very smooth now and not had any crashes.
