Nothing in the Canadian store yet. Might do a clean install. But its so much work with reinstalling Parallels and Windows...
Got a tip for us?

I was part of the beta tester groups, so I have beta's, and the public beta, in the U.S.A, and still error in app store for new Yosemite.
Distinguishing between full installer apps and updates
This was discussed a few days ago.
To the best of my knowledge, neither Public Beta 5 nor Public Beta 6 had a full installer. Each one was a delta update; such updates do not appear on the Purchases page of App Store.
If you previously had Public Beta 4 amongst your list of purchases: no. Quit then relaunch App Store. If the listing for 'OS X Yosemite' does not appear in the list, be patient; try again later.
If you did not previously have the full installer app for Public Beta 4: don't waste time and bandwidth downloading something that is not release quality. Await availability of the release.
Not everyone in an area will observe availability at the same time. Please be patient.

Ok, guys. I've installed Yosemite and i must tell you...it is baaad.
I'm going back to Windows XP
So, you can speak english. Wasn't sure based on your earlier post.
What could go wrong? Restoring with my Time Machine backup would be fine right? Usually I would update but It'll take about an hour to do that and a backup could take a whole night or not even work and it would take days to fix it... Right now I have everything set and a proper backup...
(Right before I made a partition and installed the PB1 in begin August my storage totally flipped. So I had to do a clean install. Time Machine didn't work so I had to spend a lot of time to fix it. Finally I had a proper backup and did a clean install and put the backup back. Worked perfectly. Then I made a partition, installed PB1 and I've been there ever since. And I bought a 32GB USB to backup my Yosemite partition to be as safe as possible. So after all that trouble, all I want now is just to go back to Yosemite and leave Mavericks behind me.)
I have 8GB of Ram but no SSD. Maybe this would be a good excuse to finally pick one up.
Thanks. SSD sounds like a good investment.
That's one of those things I think I'd have to see for myself. Not getting a retina MBP anytime in the next couple years so I'll just have to live with it I guess.
Thanks. That's pretty much my current setup. Glad to know it works fine.
No, do not download PB 4, as that is not the GM that will be released in the MAS shortly. Ignore PB 4.
Ok, thanks for posting this info. This answers the confusion I had. I will not re-download PB4. I will wait for the update when it is finally pushed out. I know you weren't replying to me, but thanks for the info!
Must be soon
I get

As I think about it, I recall Apple "flipping the switch" on a past OSX update sometime around their COB (5 p.m. pacific/8 p.m. eastern). I can't recall if this was last year's Maverick's or 2012's Mountain Lion. So as we sit here and mash our trackpads like nerds, perhaps Apple will flip the switch on their way out the door for the day.
It's not in the Developers Center yet either. I'm anxious to see if it fixes the memory leak in Mail. I'd really like to go back to using Mail, although unibox isn't bad, the fact that it's not fully integrated with OSX is a deal breaker for me.
sweet going to do a clean install. start fresh!!
Will be interested to know if the modified kext will still work for you. Make sure to post an update in the other thread.
Sadly, I get "The item you've requested is not currently available in the UK Store"
Interesting. Not available on the UK store here, so I think you'll just run into the same if you accept the offer to change store.
