Public Beta Delivered!
Woke up this morning to see my Public Beta updated to 10.10.2 (14C81h) Weird thing is it required me to re-type in my passowrd for just about every individual apple service (messages, icloud, etc) about 5 times each. I thought that is what passbook is for? Like it pretends to know nothing about my previous accounts. Seems pretty trivial to migrate those things forward.

I updated to the 10.10.2 Beta (Beta Tester) on Dec. 19th. I regret updating to this Beta with passion! My Mac Mini (Late 2012; 16 GB RAM; 2.6 Ghz Intel Core i7) freezes every 5 minutes or so. Even if I'm doing a fresh boot when I click on ANY application (doesn't matter if it's just one application) Yosemite will freeze and lockup for approx. 5 to 10 minutes. Once Yosemite finally unfreezes and the application launches the OS again freezes randomly at any time. I could be doing something as simple as clicking an email or clicking a bookmark in Safari. It will freeze yet again for 5 minutes or so. I am beyond frustrated!!!
I have sent feedback to Apple using the Feedback Assistant regarding this issue, but I've had to switch to using my Windows PC until Apple gets this issue fixed. Makes me want to throw my Mac in the trash! Hurry up Apple and fix this!!! Now that I've vented my frustration, is anyone else having this same issue since updating to 10.10.2?

You made a time machine backup before updating to the beta didn't you? (Just as apple advises before you install any beta.)
If so, you can restore from the backup and fix it yourself.
If not, you may have to learn the hard way.
No. I didn't.
I don't have Time Machine.EDIT: oK, I realize how idiotic my statement was. Of course my Mac Mini has Time Machine, but unfortunately at the time I installed the beta update I did not have an external HDD to backup to. I've ordered one and am waiting for it to get here, so I'll be able to perform backups in the future. Guess I've been one of the ignorant Beta Testers. Yes, I know backing up your data is very important, especially when installing Beta software, but I guess since I haven't had any issues with any of the previous betas I ignorantly thought I didn't need to backup my data. I've shot myself in the foot on this one. I can only hope that the next Software update will fix the issues I'm currently having with Yosemite.

Advice
Everyone makes mistakes
Given what you have, you could try some standard approaches to troubleshooting, approaches that are not specific to private beta testing.
Perform a safe boot, then a normal boot, then do things that might minimise the risk of problems.
Think about peripherals and their behaviours. (For example: if there's an external hard disk drive, and if the disk might be not spinning up when expected, you could use the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences to avoid putting that disk to sleep.)

Thank you for the suggestions. I will do some troubleshooting to see if I can figure out what is causing the issue.
Same here, Airport Utility rarely actually shows my Airport as functioning, just get a spinner where it should show the device yet the wifi still works so it must be there. Went home to the parents for xmas and upgraded my mom's 2009 iMac from Mavericks to Yosemite and it is now lagging and having wifi issues as well. The first time she launched Safari it just kept bouncing and over 30 seconds later still just bouncing. She asked why it wasn't working and I had to resign to the truth that it does take a long time to launch apps in Yosemite for the first time. In the end i'm not sure upgrading her computer was actually helpful or not.
I am guessing all these wifi issues has something to do with the stack changes to support continuity and/or some fancy clever power saving idea someone had that sounded great on paper. I really hope they fix wifi soon as it is surprising for them to have left this issue festering onward for so long now after release. I would have expected a fix for it in the first or second beta within the first month.
I know Apple under Jobs was not perfect about quality control either (and it is better to just move on now and not bring him up on every present day issue) but surely someone would have lost their job by now regarding this issue and I am confident it would have been fixed by now were he still at the wheel.
They still haven't fixed the irritating display bug. Can't watch videos in iTunes (black screen), photos in iPhoto (black screen), look at any documents in Preview (transparent window with a border). I submitted a bug report on the iPhoto display bug and it was closed being a duplicate.
Major releases would be to major for people to assimilate to and progress would be slowed. I would say a two year release cycle could work.
That's assuming the major release works inside a year! So far Yosemite has too many annoying bugs.
If I had to rely on WIFI, I'd revert.
If they don't fix the Displays preferences bug, I'm reverting.
If they don't fix the Bluetooth issue, I'm reverting.
All bugs I've reported long LONG ago that remain and sometimes get worse with each beta.
It's starting to look like monkeys throwing paint at canvas to achieve art.

Hmm, I didn't get this version. Maybe they pulled it?
I only have f not h.
I'm sure I saw this before the beta, and I've had Gatekeeper turned off since 10.10.
easily done by going to safari or cmd+k and inserting vnc://ipadress: port
or creating a shortcut for alfred that way, takes 1 second to launch. bttm is useless and has never worked for me, but probably because my provider's provided routers are sh(i)t
Fixed my AirDrop
10.10.2 officially fixed my Airdrop. Prior to this release, I could never find my Macbook to Airdrop stuff from my iOS devices. I haven't had any other issues so this was only a positive for me.

h was not pulled.
f is for developers, h is for public beta testers.
Some developers also signed up to the public beta testing program too. They are the only people who will get both.
If you want to choose between them, I'd say to stay with the developer program. They get more builds and much better online support.
Any of you guys have the wake from sleep every 2 hours problem and knows if this version of Yosemite fixes it?
Woah, I'd be glad to test any new version that can potentially fix my insomnia.
can someone please tell me if they fix the overall ui lag issue?
my mac will get laggy if i run it a few days without restart. A restart or simply log out and log back in improves the ui animation. And then repeat.
I'm running rmbp 13 2014, 16g, 256 ssd
