10 things you need to know before installing OS X Yosemite Public Beta

“[The] general public can get a taste of Apple’s upcoming OS X 10.10 Yosemite desktop operating system for Macs by signing up for a public beta over at the OS X Beta Program webpage starting tomorrow,” Christian Zibreg reports for iDownloadBlog.

“The company has said that the public beta will only open to the first million applicants so you better sign up now if you haven’t already,” Zibreg reports. “The public beta program is voluntary, so don’t expect any compensation from Apple for your participation. Installing the beta software does not void your hardware warranty.”

“Although the latest Yosemite beta is surprisingly stable (for a beta), Apple advises against installing it on your work machine because things can go wrong and you don’t want your precious data be held hostage of beta hiccups,” Zibreg reports. “You can perform a clean install of Yosemite or, preferably, deploy it on a separate partition, which will allow you to dual-boot Mavericks and Yosemite on a single Mac.”
