[2010mini]

Second Golden Master???

I thought GMs was the final build before public release??

They are candidates, not the final GM.

Downloading my update is 104mb large.

Fix the damn keychain bug since beta 1 please.

I feel like my iOS 8 conversion is incomplete without Yosemite. I'd put money on that being a contributing factor to iOS 8 adoption slowing down. Once Yosemite is publicly released, I see 8 ticking up again. Once you get 8.1 on market, I think we'll push that 80% mark.

I doubt that. The vast majority of ios 8 users are on windows.

It was a GM release candidate.

Any changes in the PB5?

 

[SSDGUY]

After my IOS8 experience, I definitely won't be in a hurry to upgrade OS X.

Yosemite is crap. In fact, it's all been crap the past few years. I'm going back to Panther.

 

[creambear]

It can be fresh installed by the looks of it.

Mine is just a 281M upgrade from GM RC1. Which version were you running?

Laughs loudly. Tiger was better

Whaaa?

Tiger was the worst thing Apple's put out over the last decade. Every version of OS X after and before was better than Tiger.

Tiger almost sent me back to Windows.

From the looks of things, we may be seeing Yosemite very soon.

Bring it on.

..soon.. as in the... 16th..?

Is it just me or does anyone notice a serious memory leak when using any web browser? It's pretty bad.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Tiger on my G4 Quicksilver was about as stable as I have ever used.

Cheetah OTOH, that was a pile of crap.

I've been using the public beta since it came out, and I've found Yosemite to be very stable. There is the odd quirk here and there, but I think it's ready for public release. Samba shares work!

How pleasant it is to have a small system update this time.

 

[belle14]

If PB5 fixes the issues that have made Safari unusable since I installed Yosemite I will be delighted. Other than that, I've been rather enjoying Yosemite so far.

10.6.8 - fastest, most stable, most reliable OS Apple has released. Snow leopard is the mac version of Windows 7.

The UI is very ugly and early 2000's though. Those horrid blue bubble scroll markers and stuff

Did they fix the Messages app big that the window would move to a new location when clicked on?

 

[bknida]

I just went through this 100+ MB update and there are no changes anywhere, literally.

This update was only to improve performance and fix bugs. They are really finishing up for the release.

My login profile picture changed to a bee. lol

Unfortunately no.

 

[Motawa]

Only 6 hours battery life on my macbook pro hassle 13 inch (only 13 battery cycles) and the ui is sometimes really lag

Haha, well at least you experienced some change!

 

[springsup]

Safari...

I don't want to say it, but it does.

Hand off still does not work it works on all my other devices just not my 2013 rmbp
