Of course:
From Apple:
Yosemite introduces innovative new features, including:
- Today view in Notification Center, giving you quick access to informative widgets for Calendar, Weather, Stocks, Reminders, World Clock and social networks. You can also add widgets like Yahoo! Sports from the Mac App Store to customize your Today view;
- a new Spotlight, delivering rich information right to your desktop from Wikipedia, Maps, Bing, App Store℠, iTunes Store®, iBooks Store℠, top websites, news and movie showtimes;
- iCloud Drive℠, so you can store files of any type in iCloud®, organize them any way you like, and access them from your Mac, iPhone, iPad® or even a Windows PC;
- a streamlined new Safari that delivers the fastest performance, as well as the longest battery life for web browsing and Netflix HD video streaming on the Mac;
- an updated version of Mail, which includes Markup for quickly filling out and signing forms and PDFs right within Mail, plus Mail Drop, which makes it easy to send large attachments up to 5GB for free;
- enhanced Messages, so now you can add participants to your ongoing group conversations, see their locations on a map, quickly access attachments and even mute notifications;
- iTunes 12, which has a sleek new look, is fast and simple to use, and makes it easier to switch between browsing your music library and discovering new music on the iTunes Store. A new Recents view makes it easy to access the media you just purchased or recently played; and
- Family Sharing, so family members can now browse and download each other’s iTunes, iBooks® or Mac App Store purchases.
Yosemite also delivers platform technologies that make it easier for developers to create amazing new Mac apps. Swift™ is a powerful, next-generation programming language for iOS and OS X that’s fast, modern, interactive and helps developers write safer and more reliable code. SpriteKit makes it easier for developers to incorporate realistic motion, lighting and physics in games and when integrated with SceneKit, makes it simple to create games with animated 3D scenes and effects.
Everyone download and install, NOW!
(This way the show stopper bugs that would impact me will get fixed by 10.10.3, which I _might_ consider installing…)
So no more icons on the Desktop?
I'll try and swat some bugs for you.
Where do you get that idea? I still have all of mine.
I have been using the beta for almost three months now and have not noticed any bugs on my four year old Macbook Air.
Downloaded over WiFi, installed, and up and running on my MBP in less than an hour last night.
Really not a lot to remark on yet; obviously some UI changes that might take a little while to get used to (not sure if I like the “flat” design compared to Mavericks, but I do like how clean Safari is, for example).
Trying to test out Handoff now - really looking forward to this feature, though I’m more eager for Continuity (they’re kind of related though).
Anyone see this yet? In iTunes, when I select the AirPlay icon, I get an option for “Single” or “Multiple”... have they introduced multicast AirPlay???
Now that would be cool... send to multiple AppleTVs and other devices.
If it is truly multicast, then the next thing I’d like is to have an iOS app that allows the device to be an airplay receiver. Multicast content to all of the iPads and iPhones in a conference room (on an opt-in basis)? Awesome.
It's a laborious process getting it back and I'm only halfway there. Don't want Apple to screw me over again.
The “new Finder” is a window. No icons are shown on the Desktop.
I have to say, after using it all day, I think the light style and the fonts look gorgeous on my MacBook’s retina display. Curious to see how they’ll look in the 21” iMac when I upgrade it this weekend.
Updated my early 2008 Mac Pro last night. Looks good!
It is time for me to look at a replacement though. It’s almost 7 years old... Looking at the new 5K Retina 27” iMac
Upgraded over night. Painless. A few issues with some applications that I use, but straightforward.
Been that way since at least Leopard, hasn't it?
