OS X Yosemite Available Today, iOS 8.1 Coming Monday

I'm a little hesitant to upgrade my late 2008 macbook uniminium. Says it's compatible but I'm not sure how far I can (or am willing to) push this little core2duo. Runs great with Mavericks though (aside from HD videos being skippy in playback).

If you have an SSD and at least 4gb of ram, you'll be fine

I still have my 2007 MBP going strong, a SSD made a world of a difference. Also a nice 3rd party battery, not the 30$ crab on amazon, has kept the beast going. It is amazing how much slower a 5400 rpm HDD is
 
I'll wait until I get home to update my 09 MBP since it's already on the public beta. Then maybe this weekend I'll update my late-2013 rMBP if there aren't major issues.
 
From upgrading to Mountain Lion and then to Mavericks, that has taught me to wait a few months.

I only upgraded to Mavericks about two months ago.

My advice is if you do not own a Mac with a retina display then hold off on Yosemite. I put it on my old MacBook Pro from 2010 and this the UI changes just don't look good on these older displays.

My 09 MBP runs the public beta just fine. 8Gb of ram and a 500gb HDD.
 
I saw a couple of Tweets earlier that suggested that Yosemite wouldn't be available until noon pacific/4 p.m. eastern. The statements seemed to be based on what was said during the presentation. I didn't watch, so I can't verify.

Just FYI Noon Pacific is 3pm Eastern.
 
Don't worry people it will be up!

Or you could wait a month or so in order to let major kinks get ironed out.
 
For those of us who Beta tested Yosemite & have Beta 6 currently installed, how is the Yosemite public update/upgrade going to be handled? Is Apple pushing the update through the Apple Store's software update section, or are we supposed to re-install Yosemite through the Apple Store, as someone upgrading from Mavericks would?

They release what they call the Final GM update for beta/DP testers like they do with iOS updates.

GM Candidate 3.0 is not the final version same with Beta 6, they will push out a Final GM version.
 
If you downloaded the GM, you can download the final build from the Purchases tab now.

Build is different, 14A389 (GM 3 was 14A388a):
