Most of us active in this thread are already on Yosemite Developer Preview or Yosemite Public Beta. Mavericks is already long gone for me. I'm still not sure what's gonna happen to change Yosemite Public Beta (which I'm on) into Yosemite Final Version, or if there will be any change at all.

Given that the latest public beta is a release candidate and the build numbers are barely changing, it'd probably just be a small update from the App Store to bring it to final GM.
Apple is only bug fixing at this point. No new features before release IMO.

might as well
Yeah. Good idea. We'll have a lot more people in that thread as there's gonna be plenty of GAFers who weren't on the Beta.

Still doesn't fix the annoying bug I'm dealing with in getting Handoff to work.
Edit: Which I may just just finally fixed. Looks like sending something via AirDrop to my Mac from my iPhone may have finally stopped me from having to open my Bluetooth preferences every time I boot my computer.
You're lucky you can use AirDrop. Was trying for weeks to get it to work on Public Beta 1 and 2 only to find that my Late 2009 iMac doesn't support it (between iOS devices). If there was some way of letting me know that from the beginning from within Yosemite then that would have been so much appreciated.

What's wrong with it? I use VLC all the time and it works the same as always.
Same here, I use it in an almost daily basis. I'm on Public Beta 6 now but it's been fine for me since PB1. I only watch videos on it that already exist in my computer. I don't use it for streaming.

The only streaming I do with it is across my network, which is the only time I have trouble. But I blame my slow shitty stock router.

My late 2013 Macbook Pro is a LOT cooler now with Yosemite (GM3). With powerpoint going using the dedicated GPU this baby would get quite warm. Now it's purring along at 45C when Powerpoint is open. Almost can't tell it's being used. I am not sure what they did (improved the driver?) but I'm amazed. Battery life has also drastically improved, even with dedicated GPU use.
Macrumors saying that Yosemite compatible apps are now appearing.
Hopefully later tonight or tomorrow we get a new download that "switches over" our Developer Previews or Public Beta's over to Final without having to re-download the entire OS again.

A lot of devs are notoriously anal about not even discussing new OSes until they're officially released.
If the current GM Candidate is the same build as the final release it won't even matter.

I'm telling you, from an install integrity point, this really isn't the best idea.
How comes?
I posted about this once, even gave feedback to Apple (so far ignored, it seems :lol) Just turn on repeat going to Controls -> Repeat in the Mac menu bar and the repeat button will magically appear in the now playing area.
Excellent. Been a hell of a thread, gentlemen.

Now that all the stuff from this event has their own threads, it's time to retire this thread.
There's an AppleWatch thread, an iOS 8 thread and a Yosemite thread now.
