Apple Makes OS X Yosemite Beta Download Available To Testers

Apple flipped the switch on the OS X Yosemite Beta today as promised, and if you’ve already signed up and been accepted to the Beta program, you can head to the Apple site for the preview to get a Mac App Store redemption code for the new build now. If you haven’t yet signed up, you can try now, but remember that Apple has a ceiling of 1 million members for this all-new public beta testing program.

If you haven’t yet seen what the Beta program can offer, check out our extensive preview of the new features and changes Apple has made to its desktop OS with 10.10, which should be launching for the general public beginning sometime this fall as a free update. The operating system is already pretty solid, but there are bugs, and it’s probably best to install this on a backup machine or a separate partition of your main device just to be safe.
