Uninstalled it after a few hours.
It downloaded and installed just fine. I did however notice some flickering in some of the scroll bars and cut/capped text pieces in system settings.
However. It would freeze up my computer whenever it was returning from sleep. There was like a 30 sec latency between the computer turning on and the backlight for the LCD to turn on. When it did turn on, the curser was missing and the computer was frozen at the moment when it was put into sleep (judged by the time of the frozen clock), and the only solution would be a hard reset.
My username, in the upper right corner, would sometimes flicker whenever I would mouse over.
All the little things doesn't bother me, really. It is, after all, just a public beta and I treated it as such. Did submit my findings, before rolling back to Mavericks (which took less than an hour anyway, so I'm fine).
The biggest turn off, besides the problem regarding sleep, was the look itself.
I couldn't help but feel like Yosemite indeed is designed with Retina in mind. The text looked fuzzy (did try different settings, no dice) and the overall feel was just, like... "Mavericks with a new skin". The redesign of the OS and apps, was top notch. That I did like. But the fuzzy 'feel' and bright colors didn't really do it for me [the dark theme was awesome].
I know. I know. I'm rockin' an old MacBook Pro Early 2008, and it's soon going to die on me. I just love the machine - primarily since its still working (almost) just fine. I know, I know. It's
just an old 1440x900 pixels non-Retina.
But still. It shouldn't feel that damn fuzzy
Good luck to the rest of you. I do like Yosemite. But, there are a few rough edges that have to be smoothed, before I make the final switch.
It's a damn shame, that the sleep function was so troublesome, because I feel that Yosemite has the potential to be the best version of OS X.
