Yes, I've been using CS6 on Yosemite since Beta 1. Entire suite works just fine on Beta 1 and 2, as well as 3 which I installed today. I use Illustrator pretty regularly and tested the suite to be sure.
k? I've seen it say OS X Yosemite v 10.10. And I've seen os x beta 10.10 and OS X v 10.10 I have never seen OS X Yosemite beta v 10.10 until this update. I check that section on the reg. if im wrong Im wrong but I just noticed this specific description after I dld 8.
It was the same for me at first, but it just took a few hours and the Update showed up.
So I suggest to just keep checking.
Same issue with Mail here. Can't reply to emails. Makes Yosemite unless for me. I'm going to revert back to PB2 via Time Machine. Too bad, I was liking PB3. But with a hosed email system it is useless.
Same here. Hosed.

I can reply to iCloud emails but not from any of my other email accounts.
Just got a new rMBP today so my first try with handoff with a Mac. My iPhone and iPad seem to work fine with it, but while I can start emails on the Mac and complete them on the other devices, the reverse is not true. Only one attempt resulted in the widget appearing on the dock, and the email never loaded. Many other attempts did nothing.
I don't know; the user interface is growing on me. Yosemite still seems to be bug laden, though it works better than iOS 8, so I could see Apple going with this soon. I certainly won't go back as it is for the most part a very nice update.
I am bothered by Apples seemingly in ability to stabilize its operating systems prior to release. In this case it doesn't matter if it is IOS or Mac OS, they seem to willing to ship with known bugs. I understand deadlines but there are limits. It is even more frustrating when apps with barely an update on the surface break.
I use Mac Mail with iCloud, IMAP and Exchange. It is definitely buggy but works... I'm on 10.10 (14A361c)
I wonder if Yosemite will finally get me away from Linux as my primary OS.
Linux vs OSX? Lets be real. Do you want a OS for work or play? Nothing will ever replace my primary Linux machine for work.
I'd like to say it is better but from around an hour with it today I'm not convinced. Had WiFi connections issues and actually had preferences crash on me. I desperately need an update too, to my 2008 MBP.
Over the last year Safari has come a very very long way! I use to track the WebKit nightlies and they went through a major overhaul of the code base. Much of the code base has been refactored into modern C++ code and restructured to remove non performant parts. It is also my understanding that the code base is now shared between Mac and iOS. Even on my old iPad 3 the performance of Safari is much better. Well except for the bugs that completely hang Safari. Generally Safari is impressive on both platforms now.
That's correct behavior. RAM is fast, so your computer puts everything it can onto it at any given time. My rMBP is currently using 15GB (out of 16) with only Safari, Mail and iTunes open.
Those that found skeuomorphic/textured backgrounds distracting, I'm really curious, if you don't find the translucent salad mess in Yosemite any less distracting? Because at least a textured background may be subtle and consistent, but a translucent background is always variable.
And while on the surface it seems nice and appealing, in the long term to me is distracting/annoying. We already went through this partly in Jaguar.

The problem is that the OS is designed for translucency (mess), a setting like that won't give me what the OS was intended for. Why? Because I experience this in iOS7, I've tried turning off translucency and it helps in the sense of things being consistent, but it looks absolutely hideous. What matters is the default, what 95% of users will use their Macs at, I care about the overall message, the overall default vision OSX will ship with.

All the people that posted (full) screenshots, are you on Retina displays? They seem so much more crisp and colourfull than my MB '09 display screenshots!
Wait I'll post on of my own, maybe you guys can see the difference:
(Still on PB2, will update this afternoon)

Let's actually be honest. The only thing Linux beats OS X in work related aspects is for Electrical/Computer engineering, open source obsessed computer scientists/programmers, sysadmins, and the occasional customization crazed neckbeard who had too much time to learn exclusively not to use a GUI. Otherwise, OS X and Windows are better for real work.
Bummer, Hand-off and phone relay stopped working for me. Those where some of my favorite things about Yosemite...
Hope they'll return soon.
Edit: On the other hand Safari really is blazingly snappier!

Logging out and in of iCloud seems to have fixed hand-off on my Mac. Interestingly enough though - it does not connect through Blue Tooth anymore.
