I saw that!! Actually I am surprised that it took them so long to integrate/copy such a good feature.
But I see that they are still stubborn on their idea that it gives good user experience to keep the mobile vs PC interface very similar.
Got a tip for us?

1. make a bootable disk clone (e.g. with ccc)
2. upgrade
3. if you love it, keep it - if you hate it (or it breaks things): boot from clone and clone your backup back - nothing lost.
That is how I always approach beta/GM releases or (major) upgrades in general.
Or install in a separate partition.

I think some of the information posted here is confusing things. Could you tell me what Mac (year, type and BT version) you are using and iPhone? I'm trying to understand if the SMS will work with my system.
Strange build number for a GM, maybe this isn't the final build after all...
Slow slow download, ended up VPNing from the UK to Los Angeles - update downloading ten times faster now

Hehe glad there is an improvement but I shut down my computer like once a month and then the remainder of the time it's just sitting in suspend. Nice to have the feature but it will probably be rarely used (at least I hope so).
Why so often? I only do it if updates force me to do it.
Speaking of Windows 10

Working on my 2013 iMac and 6+.
As soon as I installed and restarted Yosemite, I opened the Messages app in OS X and it immediately asked if I wanted to use that feature with my iPhone, I said Yes and it gave me a code to enter on my iPhone.
I unlocked my iPhone and a prompt popped up asking to enter the code from my iMac.
After that, it works.
I'm also on iOS 8.1...

Code? I didn't get asked about that
EDIT: the function was auto turned off. After turning it on it prompted the code
YES! I might do a complete fresh install on my rMBP. Luckily its pretty simple with a time capsule and all my files stored there.
I have not done a fresh install since probably Tiger ... even when I get a new machine I just clone the drive from the old one to the new one. Never had any issues. And I had a few betas in the mix of upgrades.
Same here. Not sure what to do - maybe just wait and hopefully the MAS will update.
No I'm on 8.1 as well haha. It interesting with Message Forwarding. You can tell this'll be used for Apple Watch
Really? I guess I am just use to doing "fresh installs" from Windows. (Im a former windows user).
I do a fresh install on every new OS. I never have issues and that's probably why. Keep doing what you're doing.
Ill hold off on installing Yosemite.. Seeing as how buggy iOS8 still is... Will probably be the same with OS X... Apple needs to get their things together
