I already found out, the updates are located in the /Library/Updates Folder, installed manually.
PB1 was stable but had a lot of bugs that would keep me from using it on a production machine.
The last iteration of iTunes was highly buggy.
As well, from PB1 it was impossible to access your iCloud documents without using the new iCloud drive. But if you use that, then your other non-beta machines couldn't access the iCloud documents.
Not sure yet about PB2. But PB 1 for me was a 100% no-go on a production machine.
Been loving Yosemite so far and haven't had any major issues. It's actually been really smooth... Can't wait to update later today!

I've been using Yosemite as my main OS since Beta 1 (now on DP6), and have had very few problems.

I've been using the public beta on my macbook air as the primary OS for 3 weeks now without any problems. Love it so far!
If you're referring to how iTunes 11 changed search from narrowing down your list (the old search) to offering a popup list of items (the new search), you can still revert back to the old search method.
Click the magnifying glass and then deselect "Search Entire Library". That causes it to revert back to the way search had been done for many years. At least it does for iTunes 11 on Windows.
Looks like there is a new "Recently added" at the top of the library in iTunes 12 when viewing music by Albums.
Edit: There's also a 'recently added' section that sorts your music added within the past day through the past three months in the Artist view (you have to scroll up to the top of the artists list on the left.

I had this issue on beta 1 where dragging pictures from Safari to the desktop would take AGES to save. Hopefully that is fixed here in beta 2.
Can you guys stop downloading for a minute?

Didn't get a response from the Software Update server (swscan.apple.com).
I've seen this message at least 3 times. I assume the server is busy with everyone else.

My expectation for iTunes has gotten so low that I am happy that Apple is at least trying to make it better.
If I was Eddie Cue, I would probably rename iTunes to Music, and make it only about music (with perhaps Beats Music thrown in) just as iBooks is only about books. Similarly, I would rename QuickTime Player as Videos and make it all about movies and TV shows.
For syncing non cloud-based media contents to iOS devices, I would resurrect iSync.

Would anyone say roughly whether or not this is any more or less stable than DP6? Just out of interest; I only have DP6 on my backup machine.
