Microsoft Word 2015 crashes whenever I try to save, and a reboot didn't help. I'm switching back to 2011 Office in the meantime.
This latest PB has been horrible for me. Everything beachballs, Office 2015 hangs/crashes like it's going out of style, and LogMeIn Client is unusable.
I guess I had my hopes up b/c the first three PBs were pretty solid in comparison. This one, not so much. But FWIW, I knew what I was getting myself in to so I was prepared for some instability...just a little disappointed that things are going in the wrong direction with stability.

Why would subsequent betas be worse in terms of stability and fixes? This is going backwards, it makes no sense.
Change one factor, can influence others. Just go back and try another method.
Anyone else having the "cannot connect" to (or sometimes even SEE in Finder) any shared or network drives? Been there for every build of this beta for me. I mean ZERO network drives... not my NAS, not my Time Capsule, not even my other Macs for screen sharing. Occasionally, the devices will show, but then immediately disappear from Finder.
Switch over to main partition, running Yosemite, and all is well.

Nasty new bug here: After the upgrade El Capitan always prompts me to "first open" my startup items. Some don't even start at all - happens on all user accounts (bug report has already been written 
). Anyone else who experienced this?
Other than that it really begins to run better and better. Absolutely love the graphics speed on my Intel HD 4000.

Same here, probably just a simple database error that they'll fix soon.
@DustinLH00 no, that would been to easy I just found the solution on a Dutch site called: Appletips. You have to change the language from Dutch to English and then You can log-in to iCloud again. So easy and yet so difficult to find

Yep. Same boat. Trying to decide if I go back to Yosemite or see if I can hold out until next PB and hope it gets resolved.

Don't let them ruin your experience, just ignore those people.
experienced beachballs all the times on PB4, tried everything, even Cmd-R recovery menu didn't work when i tried to rollback with time machine.
ended up installing firmware update from developer beta 6 (https://imzdl.com/osx.html) and it seems working now!
hope it'll help

Just an update.. it appears ninth install was the charm.. PB 3 and PB 4 followed on and installed without incident, all applications fully operational, all interfaces nominal.
Thanks for the video. It is amazing to see how much Apple have improved the GUI animations when using the integrated Intel graphics. They have really done a stellar job with El Capitan. This kind of change is so much better than any new feature.
