I can just imagine Windows 8 users doing this for when 10 comes out...wait nvm. They have to buy it.
Got a tip for us?

LOL fortunately if the user is on Windows 8.1 the upgrade to Windows 10 IS free.
Has there EVER been a major OS upgrade with FEWER surprises in it?
With multiple PUBLIC betas theres been plenty of chances for any rabid fan to "try it out" long before today...
when in doubt: create a test partition, install, play, enjoy.
I suppose if they gave us an actual time of day, then they would run the risk of their servers getting an even bigger kicking than the one we're going to give them.
I have this installed on a 2007 iMac and I'm not experiencing problems. Hope you don't either.
Now I don't have continuity/handoff at 100% on this machine but I didn't go into it expecting the new features to work on 7yr old hardware.
If we doesn't likes it, precious, then we just has to clone our hard driveses first before we installs it (*khollum*)
No, Apple has secretly said that if they made safari any snappier the world would combust!
Yosemite Beta 6
New to All this and Apple in general and just need to know that if I am on Beta 6 of Yosemite will the release come as an update for me or do I need to look in another place?

Well I'm done refreshing.
Am off to go read John Siracusa's 128 page review of Yosemite, instead of actually downloading it. Perhaps it'll be possible when I'm done.
Have at it, people: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/10/os-x-10-10/

Reverting from Yosemite to Mavericks, for example
If you have a reliable backup of Mavericks: yes. Apple recommends Time Machine.
OS X Mountain Lion: Revert to a previous OS X version
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
*expect the support article for reverting from Yosemite to be similar.

If you use Time Machine, you are supposed to be able to restore back to previous OS versions.
I'm running the last beta too but I'll be looking for it on the App Store and doing a clean install when it's available. Although, the release has a different build number to the final beta so it's possible it'll show up as an 'update' to your current version.
more importantly, how does firefox run on yosemite
I can't run Safari reliably with 45+ tabs like I can with firefox + tree style vertical tabs...
Now, if you tell me THAT is now feasible with safari- I might be taking a look at it....
