The very first iPhone is a very different situation from the eleventh major version of an OS. There's no reason they'd have to hack together some sort of fake demo for Yosemite instead of just running all of it, especially when they're sending the first beta out into the world the same day.
Got a tip for us?

Thats why you use Time Machine.

Is that why iOS 7 has a very adoption and high satisfaction rate?
No matter what you do, you're never going to please everyone. Thats impossible. Some people just don't like change, no matter how substantial it is.
Change is fine, as long as it's in the right direction. Aesthetically, all the changes Ive has made to apple software are ugly as sin.
The new dock, in particular, is simply atrocious. And iOS 7/8 is one giant eye sore.
IMHO, things change, especially technology, and people need to just accept that and move on. No use in complaining as tech will constantly change and evolve. People always get used to new things and accept it, so stop complaining.
Well aesthetics are subjective. I like iOS 7 (and 8) and the look of Yosemite; it's not perfect, but it's a whole lot better than iOS 6 and Mountain Lion (Mavericks was moving in the right direction)...
Use an 8GB+ USB stick and format it with GUID partition mapping and a partition named Untitled, then run the following 5 commands in terminal:
sudo hdiutil attach /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ 10.10\ Developer\ Preview.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg
sudo asr restore -source /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg -target /Volumes/Untitled -erase -format HFS+
sudo rm /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/System/Installation/Packages
sudo cp -a /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/Packages /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System/System/Installation/Packages
sudo cp -a /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg /Volumes/OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.chunklist /Volumes/OS\ X\ Base\ System
Where on earth did you hear that? It's not even remotely true. Mavericks is very stable.
Well... Aesthetics are subjective but I could say that you have no taste at all if you seriously claim that iOS 6 and Mountain Lion looks better than iOS 7/8 and Yosemite. Apple is going definitely to the right direction with their UI design.
Right. Because 1,000,000 isn't a large enough sample size to catch any bugs that you would personally run into
Speaking as someone who's been using Macs long before there were anywhere near 10 million of this, I find this comment ridiculous.

What is worse is the fact that if you end up with 10million people testing - what will the quality of the feedback like? if engineers are chasing up on bugs that are due to the end user being an idiot rather than a genuine bug then that is a situation of resources being sent on a wild goose chase rather than fixing up real problems. You'd actually better off, when it comes to software testing, to have a small group of testers who are knowledgeable and able to write detailed reports as well as able to search the bug database before hand as to avoid duplicate bug reports getting created.
Buggy as hell?? Can you point out those bugs? I don't have any.
Macericks is VERY stable compared to Mountain Lion. And more snappy too.

More people testing = more bugs squashed = more stable launch software
I can dumb it down further if it helps?
- QuickView doesn't work properly
- The whole OS is very laggy if you have more than one app open (and this is on a one year old MBP)
- Finder is very laggy always
- iMessage keeps trying to use my old account rather than the new one I set up iCloud with
- My laptop doesn't go to sleep properly when plugged into an external monitor (although this bug was present in previous versions too)
There probably more I can't think of right now, but this OS is very frustrating, especially when it slows my computer down to a crawl. I can only hope Yosemite is an improvement.
Not to discount what you're saying, but I'm running 10.9.3 and have no issues with QuicKView, general OS lag, the Finder or iMessage. Can't speak to the external display bug you mention as I don't use one, but regardless, I'm not experiencing any of the issues you are and I'm using a 2009 MacBook Pro. I genuinely recommend backing up, wiping your Mac and then setting it up from scratch. It sounds like a pain, but the only explanation for the issues you're having is some combination of either a botched upgrade or the like.
