Apple, for the first time in 14 years, has decided to release a public beta for their latest operating system. This time, it is the recently announced, OS X Yosemite. Anyone will be able to access the beta version of the operating system starting July 24.

To access the beta, it is required that you sign up on Apple's site You must login or register to view this content..
Since it is in development, crashes and bugs are expected and should be reported to Apple. It is your own responsibility to use this OS. It is recommended that you install on an old device, as there may be unexpected responses.

What do you think of Apple's plan to release the OS publicly for beta testing? Is this a good idea? Will their users suffer from fatal errors? Comment your thoughts below!

UPDATE:
Apple has stated: “Since the beta software is unfinished, some new features will not be available, such as phone calls, SMS, Handoff, Instant Hotspot, and iCloud Drive. Spotlight suggestions are U.S.-based only. Some applications and services may not work properly with the beta software. When creating or making changes to documents stored in iCloud, your documents will sync only with Macs running the OS X Yosemite Beta and with iOS devices running iOS 8.”

I think its a good step forward. Might download this and use it as my main OS.

That's cool, +1 for Apple. (inb4 all the windows fanboys bitch at me)

Are programs still limited or is this everything being released? Because I am in the Private Beta and not everything is available. Do you know?

Updated the thread with a little more information about that

Torrented it when Beta 1 came out been using it as my main OS since.

Just installed it on my Mac and I'm pretty impressed by it. It even boots up faster than mavericks.
