Anyone upgrade to this?

[jamo]

Yup. Got it on launch day.

I finally did recently. I got 5 *more* gigs after installing. Went pretty smooth. No surprises, but iMovie, well, it just doesn't work properly. I just got a simpler to use video editing app. Not gonna upgrade iMovie as I don't use it that much.

Thanks all.  I will load it tonight.

Before you do, and it may be 99.999% overkill, but do this:

1. Boot to the recovery partition by restarting and holding down cmd-R.
2. Launch Disk Utility.
3. Run "Verify Disk" and repair if necessary.
4. Repair permissions as well while you're in there.

The latter really is unlikely to matter much, but it takes so little time, you may as well.

The former I do once every few months. Just before installing a major update is as good a time as any.

Thanks.  Will do.

Did anyone else experience the pixelation issue after upgrading?  It is kinda driving me crazy - I can't identify the trigger but parts of the screen just go kooky pixelated.  Web search shows it to be a known issue, but sadly haven't found out how to fix it yet.

It is a 2010 27" iMac.

Nope. Hadn't even heard of it until just now.

Take it a Genius Bar. May be a video card issue, may be RAM related, etc. You can run Apple Hardware Test. Reboot and hold down the "D" key.

I love Yosemity and the way it works with IOS 8.

My Macbook hard drive failed just as I was moving from the beta version to the released version but the apple store installed a new 500gb drive and it has been flawless so far.

I too installed on the launch date.  But I did notice some of the third party software needed to be upgraded (with upgrade fee, of course - Ugh!).

Other than some third party software issues, so far, so good. Knock on wood.

Like what? I didn't have to upgrade anything.

I need some PC programs for work, so I use VMware Fusion on my Macbook Pro to emulate PC.  I had version 5.x Pro, but had to purchase an upgrade to version 7 in order to run it on Yosemite.

Ah. Makes sense. I hadn't heard of a BUNCH of stuff requiring updates from 10.9 to 10.10. The APIs didn't really advance/change/get deprecated much.
