Anyone running this?
Any issues with design apps, Adobe CC, etc?

Beta means beta, don't install it on your work machine for at least a few days when issues will become apparent.

Plus, the download keeps crapping out.

I've been running it for 24 hours; a few rough transitions including iCloud Drive-related stuff, but now things seem fine.
The "dark mode" lacks full impact because of third party support for menu bar icons, Full iOS8 integration is lacklustre of course, etc.
Pretty tight for an initial "public" release; I like where it's headed...
...It's MUCH more tolerable/stable than the initial iOS7 beta I played around with when it was first released (I had to delete it as I couldn't stand it).

using it on my sandbox machine... seams fine. far along for a beta, but i'd wait till the fall for using it on a machine you need for any actual work.

- that silly thing became the dockmonospaced
- I liked that strip of goodies. I used it all the time and added 3rd party nodules.CyBrainX
- The pop out ribbon rules!see_thru
- not at all mono - the dock opened applications - that strip was used for settings. And it always seemed like a pointless bolt on to me.fadein11
- bolt on to me.fadein11
- the current dock also lets you change settings, but you can feel free to make incorrect points if you likemonospaced
- I still don't like the dock. In System 9 you had a drop down menu at the top right to put all your applications. No room wasted.CyBrainX

"NeXTSTEP's user interface is considered to be refined and consistent. It introduced the idea of the Dock (carried through OpenStep and into OS X)"

- I know my way around the Dock.ernexbcn
- I use the Dock daily.ernexbcn
- My Dock auto hides.ernexbcn
- The dock is about the only thing I dislike since Classic OS. We used to have a dropdown icon at the top right. It never hogged a pixels of space.CyBrainX
- pixel of space.CyBrainX

The new dock feels pretty clunky the way it completely obscures what's below it.
Think the blurred background effect could be toned down massively in places. Like how the iOS volume indicator blocks so much it may as well just be a white box, because either way it blocks most of the video below it.
- I set it as auto hide, don't like seeing the thing always thereernexbcn
- If you put it to the left hand side it's a lot nicer toomonospaced

this might be the OS version that finally puts the last nail in my old Mac pro's coffin. barely running Mavericks as it is. ;(
- Mine runs fine, early 2008. RAM that bitch up and put a SSD.ArmandoEstrada
- no it's the actual model generation. mine was earliest one allowed by mavericks. so any more bumps and it's toast.prophetone
- randommail0
So should I upgrade to Mavericks now?
- unless you have lightroom and don't want to upgrade to 5, then maybe not.jaylarson
- thanks Jay. I do use Lightroom 4. So maybe i need to get 5 first.randommail
