Agreed. Going to revert back to 10.9 till some 3rd party helpers come along to get rid of Ive's mess. Looks hideous.

Can't wait for 10.10.01 /s
I participated in the developer beta for Yosemite.
Since the first beta to the GM they haven't fixed this ugly bug:
Notice the jagged edges??
I am a big apple-whore but that leaves me speechless
Go to Purchases tab and see if you need to re-authorize your computer for free iWork.
Ordered a MBP, but from where? If you ordered it from Apple it may or may not have 10.9 still on it. If you ordered it from a 3rd party (Best Buy etc.) it will almost certainly have 10.9 on it.
If it had Yosemite on it, then you'd want to make an image of your new MBP drive (backed up so you have all the extras that came with it), grab the latest installer for Mavericks (10.9.5?), make a thumb drive installer with it (so you have it to keep) and then do a clean install and you should (should) be good to go.
As for how long will Apple be shipping MBP's with 10.9...I doubt anyone could tell you other than, not long - but you'll be able to walk into a 3rd party (Best Buy) and still get them for a while because they don't turn their inventory over that fast (got an iPad 4 with iOS 6 months after the transition to iOS 7 that way).
The order was from Apple and it is a BTO machine. I know the mid-2014 MBP needs 10.9.4 to boot. I have a Mavericks Installer downloaded the day before Yosemite came out, so it should be a 10.9.5 installer and thus be able to install a bootable system on the MBP.
Is there a way to tell in advance if this is so?
The Mavericks Installer lists it as version 1.3.46
You might want to check your own sense of aesthetics dog: http://roadbloc.co.uk
Anyone with a brain cell knows that aesthetics are subjective and are a personal thing. Why the implied attack on the look on my website just because I don't like the look of Apple's latest OS much?
I once considered you a well reasoned and mature poster. Now I'm unsure of this.
Me doing this same thing from PB seems to do nothing, Feedback Assistant is still there and so are a couple of bugs (sleep login background is stock Yosemite when meanwhile I have my own different wallpaper on there instead), etc....yeah it works but this is a little annoying
That's what I figured. Strange, my phone drops connection to my computer instantly. Can't get it to stay connected to Bluetooth.
Some numbers won't allow me to dial out too. It's not iMessage users and non iMessage users because I can dial out to some people who don't have iPhone but not others who don't.
Also texting seems to be limited to iMessages only so far.

You find a model that actually functions properly, let us know.Yeah everyone should have the same phone, tablet, computer, car and wife.
Three times now on the Final Release this has happened. Never had any issues with the Developer or Public Beta's. Weird.
Keyword, very few. Not all. As far as I'm concerned they're both ugly.
Quite a lot of the time, functionality overcomes looks. Hence why I'm downloading Yosemite since the features are really nice. Just like someone wanting a reasonably decent car for a reasonable price will probably not be fretting over the looks so much. Honestly the whole car analogy is weak but I played along with it.
Like it or not, aesthetics and beauty are not things set in stone. That is why I dislike the look of Yosemite, but there will be plenty of people who do like it. It is why the eternal 'Yosemite looks terrible' thread remains eternal as people with conflicting opinions argue the toss.
I'm sorry but you'll have to do better than this to convince me that aesthetics are not down to personal taste.
FYI (apologies if someone else has mentioned this in the thread), the old functionality of the green button is still present. You should be able to double-click the grey titlebar of the window and have the window re-size like it used to. A good place to check this would be double-clicking in the grey area next to the URL bar in Safari.
Personal tastes are subtle. We share a more innate sense of what is aesthetically pleasing than you think. Some of us are more practically inclined at the expense of an outright appreciation of aesthetics, workmanship and quality. Call it a right brain/left brain thing if you want to overly (and highly wrongly) simplify it. And there is nothing wrong with that.
It is when you try to use that inherent bias in critiquing the other side you are running into problems. You are confusing your own weighted biases for taste. Biases towards functionality over form are certainly down to how an individual is cobbled together, but does not override an innate shared sensibility of aesthetics. We can all tell the difference between a run down part of town and a well maintained gentrified area and feel safer in the latter rather than the former regardless of your own starting biases. There is a shared sense of aesthetics that is pretty universal, overriding many of your own preferences.
