Any annoying bug so far?

That's good news! It's like a new computer all over again aye

Any annoying bug so far?

for me, once the desktop is loaded, it's a lot faster then Mavericks.

Broken things:
- feedback assistant
- iMovie

Buggy things
- iBooks
- iTunes store in iTunes

Missing features:
- disable the notification for a day (in the notification panel)

a lot of GUI elements are really rough.. The dock icons are not pretty and some notifications widgets are just ugly. It was the same for iOs7 at the time, so should get better with time.

I don't recommend it if you have one Mac. I didn't test Time Machine yet.

Thanks for the details reply. I think I won't join the DP1 at this moment. But most likely will install the beta tester version later on.

That's good to hear. I also have a 2008 iMac, along with a 2010 iMac. I wondered how well it would run on the older C2D machines.

Do you have continuity? I thought it required Bluetooth 4.0 so please let me know!

I totally refuse to update my ipad or iphone at this time, so I think I cannot test that. I don't know if it is suppose to work with the current iOs7 release. If it is, it doesn't work.

No it's iOS8 only, thanks anyway though.

I have been using Yosemite on my 2008 24" iMac for two days now, I love it and haven't experienced any bug yet.

Runs very on my 2008 24" iMac.

Sleep doesn't work on mine.. After a few days I must do a full restart of the machine because the title bar gets all blurry. After a restart, it's fine.

I found at least 30 bad things. I wished I would have waited a few releases...

You can always partition, you know

I have a hackintosh for development (i7-3770k,16gb,gtx680). I didn't see a need to partition since I can use both. I used my iMac most of the time, waiting for the next refresh.

Oh the irony!

Oh the irony!

yeah.. it would have been the most useful application.

I could hardly resist.. I updated my ipad (3,1) and iphone 5 to ios8. Continuity didn't work with this mac. It also didn't work between the ipad and my iphone.

I also have an 08 iMac, i have upgraded the hdd to a ssd but still only have 2GB of Ram, do you think that will cut it for Yosemite? It runs really well on Mavericks btw.

I just hope it runs on my 2007 aluminum imac so I can give it another year living on the bleeding edge
