Yo! Yosemite?
Got it yet?
I've been running the public beta so the new touches aren't all that new, all the same new features pop up all the time and of course more apps have been released to fully support it.
iCloud drive and iWork are perfect for me, and I mean perfect, they've been good for years, now perfect across all devices.
Safari is leaps ahead of any other browser, it's like they stood still a year ago. I hope it not the same on Windows and something you built yourself.
Spotlight is much improved.
My 2010 Macbook is lightning fast again, as in would shame a new PC.

Deployed it out to 26 machines today. Happy with it so far.
A couple of little niggles - 3rd party stuff that's behind the launch (rendering the update moot until the 3rd party is up-to-speed)
Have to do this as it's an essential piece of audio hardware.
But it's only my lappy and little negative impact.
MUCH better update than the abortion known as Mavericks. Just seems better bolted together.

Yep did it yesterday to my mid 2011 macbook pro with ssd. Waiting to see if handoff will work correctly. I'm not quite set on the icons but it will be just what I'm used too. Phone calls are slightly slow to ring on there. Probably 4-5 rings after it's started on my 5s running 8.0.2.
iPhoto looks good and Safari running well. Not sure I'm set on the search popping in the middle of the screen. I know ios 8.1 launches Monday but not sure what updates that holds for my 5s. Time will tell with Yosemite.

I've had it since first beta and its not missed a beat .
new spotlight definitely needs getting used to but i like it now, best thing added is the the text messages that now forward from inferior phones without iMessage to the mac

He threads are not just "about" them, his whole attitude is that Apple is superior in every respect. His threads are soapboxing,making announcements and tantamount to advertising. He is like a double glazing salesman that is shoving the product down your throat and just won't f*ck off.
I'd already suggested that he wait for someone else to start a thread on a topic and then join in. But no, he must be the first.
I wonder exactly *when* the first other person (not Jack) would post anything at all about Yosemite?
Doesn't hide the threads

Helpful tip: when it downloads, go into your applications folder and copy off the "Install Yosemite" icon to a drive. Will speed up your further installs no end.
Circa 5gig.
Can't do this afterwards as the computer will delete the installer

FYI: OS X Yosemite's Spotlight tells Apple EVERYTHING you're searching for
Not sure if i want to trust Apple any more

Someone dropped it on a USB at work & it took 20 minutes to update on my MacBook Air
Everything fine and dandy until I rebooted. It then stayed at 50% after logon and refused to go further. Rebooted a few other times - the same. Left it over the weekend and it was still 50% when I came back in Monday! Tried a couple more times then put a ticket into our Global Support (expecting a reaction by end of month), started googling and tried CMD L to log what was going on (??) and it then logged in all the way! Been fine since, so not sure if it was the threat of our support team or CMD L nudged it in some way.

I'm considering widgets again, the new Today view is great and a somewhat familiar place to put them.

Trying to update my iMac with this but it seems to want about 12 hrs of its time to do it.
Eta - 12 hours was a tad optimistic - it's now saying 5 days & 20hrs!
Wtf?
