install was smooth as silk and problem free. all old apps came right up no problems, nothing misconfigured or with settings changes, everything just like it were but much much faster now. i mean night and day faster especially using flash through safari i am playing tetris at double the speed 
I had zero problems downloading the item, and zero problems installing it. Overall, it took less than 30 minutes for the whole process including the download. Perhaps your provider was throttling your speed, who knows?
i have the DP beta working well on old iMac... still wondering where the full screen button in safari went to
It's the green button of the "traffic light" buttons in the top left. Thats now fullscreen system-wide.
i think this is actually true for once. mine is easily twice as fast and with much smoother scrolling. could be that it takes advantage of the latest macbook pro hardware acceleration better then mavericks did. graphics drivers must have been improved significantly or perhaps they are using 'metal' / swift under the hood.

my stoplight is all grey buttons now, no red green yellow, just grey grey grey. i am using dark mode though and love it. i also set the button colors to use graphite which is nice.
I will admit the font used could be a bit clearer on my ol 27 cinema display. Font seems to have taken a step backward but I am guessing this is their way of getting me ready to buy some 4K display soon.
Also wish Safari used narrow tabs or Glims was available for Yosemite to fix that for me. Don't like these wide tabs.
Installed it on my Late 2008 Aluminum Macbook 2.0Ghz 4GB of ram.
It ran pretty snappy, everything was smooth, it looks beautiful, a few things lagged like spotlight/app expose/mission control. Other than that, I didn't really have any issues. Now I'm back on 10.7.5 because of my custom dock that I'm having a hard time letting go which is why I haven't upgraded.

federighi instead to take acting classes should work to make a true new OS instead to bloating around and slowing a perfect OS that he received when he joined apple, yes snow leopard. this time he have the new ive's eyes killer UI in his favor but still the old same ****.
I'm sure he would have been fired long time ago if steve jobs was still alive.

cursor issues i used to have using some DirectX games on my Win8.1 Parallels VM have returned. same thing happened when mavericks came out and then a couple updates of parallels and osx later it was fixed but looks like they are back. cursor jumps around while playing games and doesn't track smoothly in the window of the game on the vm. this is a big shame as my work is writing said game for window and i do most of my work on this vm.
game frame rate is unchanged though.

Yes, select people are having that experience and many others are not.
However multiple speed tests show my DL speed between 52 and 56Mbps. I can download a 5GB iTunes HD movie in about 15-25 minutes.
This craps out anywhere between .5 and 1.75GB into it, repeatedly and has done so for quite a few others.
I'm really liking the clean look of Yosemite. No problems so far during basic browsing, email and iTunes.
It was good....but that was yesterday.

I agree. I am a paid developer, been using it for a while and I find it very snappy. Remember beta software is also very bloated.
iTunes 12.0
I'm unable to launch the column browser with iTunes, is anyone else having this issue?
I sent a report with feedback assistant to Apple

I don't like how they moved the song progress/time bar to the VERY bottom of that section; I find it harder to click and drag at a glance when working.
At least it opens. It's hit or miss on my 2013 rMBP. I had to use the app icon four times before it would open.
Not really. I wouldn't if I were you. At the very least make some good backups.
I had some wifi connection and speed issues in particular that would have prevented me from using it as my daily driver. (and before everyone else says how their wifi works fine. It was very dependent upon wifi network but 100% of these networks worked on mavericks).
I had a long-running problem with my ISP who uses caching proxies. They had one or perhaps more which were misconfigured. Once in a while, especially for Apple stuff, I'd get an incomplete download, and I'd get the same incomplete download for a few days .. then it would work.
After about 4 months of back and forth they found the misconfiguration which caused their proxy server, if it cached an incomplete binary the first time, not to replace it until it expired.
I used to work around this temporarily by using a VPN and bypassing the proxy.
Not necessarily the issue you're having, but this can happen and not be Apple's fault.
Any fix yet for the "error" message?
Any fix yet for the "error" message? I've been trying to do this since 6PM!!! I'm jealous of the people who say they do it flawlessly! Has anyone found a way to fix this issue yet, besides waiting it out?

I've been trying since 11 lol
Is anyone else having admin password problems? I have to restart every time I log out; if I just try to log in, the admin password is continually rejected.
Restarting solves the problem, then it crops up again at the next log out.
My initial impressions are very positive; Safari does indeed seem much improved.

For anyone have trouble with Java, Flash or Adobe Air issues
(My CCNA labs wouldn't work) due to Java issues
Here are some links
Adobe Labs Betas
Java download (confirmed working) Java from Apple
Also anyone running VMWare Fusion needs to run version 6.04 in order to work
Hope this helps someone

It still annoys me that they haven't brought back the unobtrusive notifications center that just nudges the main screen to the left. It's not like they have to make it skuemorphic, they don't have to add the grey linen.
