** OSX Yosemite **

Just logged in to the Yosemite Beta Page: https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/

You can get your codes now. Download is 5.07GB.

EDIT: Anyone also notice, this rather special MacBook Air?

EDIT 2: All installed now. Must say, UI is much more responsive, and surprisingly all of my add-on applications work fine. Only thing that doesn't work (as expected) is Server.app.

I'm guessing this is either the rMBA that everyone says is coming or they just put the wrong desktop on the desktop model for the image.
 
Well, installed the beta and its nice and all but 99% useless (as in, its no different to the previous OSX) to me because most the new features involve working with an IOS device in some manner which I can't do because I don't have access to IOS8!

Boo :(
 
Glad to be rid of the brushed metal look but not liking Yosemite visually. It's almost cartoon like in the old days of Gnome/KDE on linux. Visually it doesn't feel polished.

It's fast and smooth though, and I've not encountered any issues so far, apart from Sophos occasionally using 120% cpu to scan/update.
 
Woot.

Vagrant works,
Virtual box is fine,
Airmail is fine,
iTerm2 is working,
Spotify works,
Chrome works

Next to test is Photoshop and a few more apps for work, before I move over flow time on the weekend.

Chrome looks really out of place, I've tried moving to Safari but;

Inspector is better on chrome
Chrome sync's easier with my Nexus 5
I still have a lot of plugins for work that just arn't on Safari, from pixel perfect for UI tools, plugins to test Restful APIs, Google apps, and the chrome apps.

Safari does look much better, and is faster, Google really need to up their game or they will start to lose a lot of users.

iTunes 12 is very smooth now scrolling through all the albums in album view.
Safari is lovely, much snappier!

2 submissions via feedback tool so far, quite like the process should help get that Apple polish.

Those of you with multiple systems may have noticed that Safari is syncing history. Not sure I'm happy with it doing that to be honest.

Many other browsers do it but at least they give the option.
 
On the whole I like it, I think I prefer dark mode but I am unkeen on this 'bright super happy' colour scheme they force on everyone. The black surround on on many of the pro machine screens and machines look far better with matters 'toned down'.
