OS X Yosemite beta

Post by UbuntuXP »

Who all have tried OS X Yosemite? At first, I though Apple lost their marbles. Now, I'm amazed it's a desktop OS still, dispite features from iOS. Share your opinions, what you liked, what could be better, what needs to be removed, etc.

I've added http://apple.wikia.com/wiki/OS_X_10.10 -- but haven't tried the beta yet due to no time to fiddle with test hardware atm.

The premise looks reasonable; I look forward to hearing what breaks in the beta and how it performs on 2008-2010 hardware.

Also: the big question for everyone here: how do the emulators run on it?

Well, I was trying it out in VBox, but I have to create everything in virtual machines. I will try again later.

Trying it out on a VM is fine; it should behave almost the same as on the bare hardware. The trick is to see if you can run SS and BII on it, as there have been some changes to the development environment with Yosemite -- I'm curious to see if things break.

Voted "I don't care" because I don't really use Mac OS X, and I didn't really do any research on it. The screenshot does look nice, though.

Finally got Yosemite installed on my MacBook Pro. Looks good so far.

EDIT: Yosemite is installed in VirtualBox, not in dual-boot with Mavericks.
