I hope I have waited enough, because I'm thinking about taking the plunge to Public Beta... I'm worried though - my Mac is my main machine but I also really really want to try the new OS... Dont mind a few bugs here or there, but I REALLY need Adobe CC to work properly... Can anyone confirm there are no major problems?
It's partially fixed. If you open Finder from a different location, the width will not be the same. As an example, the Downloads next to the Trash, if you open Finder via Downloads, the sidebar is small again.
There are no direct links. You get it from the Mac App Store > Updates section
I'm no help on Adobe CC, but I've been running it on my main MacBook since PB1 and I've been pretty happy with it.
Minor things here and there that are expected, but no major issues.
Just make sure you have a good Backup, and all you could be loosing is time, in case you have to revert back.
Illustrator CC 2015 doesn't work for some users without a Java Update
There are a few bugs like "Dancing Emails" locked out safari tabs, non scrolling in Preview and a bunch more. I've had a field day reporting issues. Another annoying issue is with my apple usb keyboard and it only happens on my login screen - letters duplicate themselves about 10 times each - so basically a 13 character password turns into a 130 character password. There are many others and I would recommend waiting for the next consumer beta. Personally, I enjoy reporting to apple because I want the end user to have a great experience and then the stock price goes up!
Can anyone confirm if we can finaly turn off the new cursor thing?
EDIT: No its not stable. I plugged in my USB microphone. The computer sees the mic and doesn't lose connection like in PB 2, but when switching to it in Logic in causes the computer to crash and restart
The update was smooth. I hope this fixes the spontaneous reboot while asleep problem I have been having ever since PB2.
Still has the weird Safari bug where a tab dragged from full screen hangs around over the tab next to it and refuses to be dragged to a second screen
i didnt have it before either, it just randomly started to happen a few minutes ago on any screenshot. gonna try a reboot ...
edit: now i cant drag files on my desktop either. they just jump back to its initial position
A lot of annoying bugs are gone
- Finder preview working
- Finder siderbar bug gone
- System and app freezing is gone
For me these bugs was important to fix but they didnt fix the Safari bug when 2 window is open and the second jumps up under the mac navigation... :/
+ new huge error... Safari is dead -.-" every scroll or click gives you a 10 sec freez for the browser

I haven't run into any. But I'm not sure I'd want to install this on my main computer though.
Well radioSHARK still has no audio output. The application fires up but no sound and doesn't appear in the Sound output preferences only in the input.
That's very bad. You need to reinstall OS X from your Recovery Partition to fix this.My App Store is totally corrupted
