So, it should be just over an hour to go until we get our hands on the OS X Yosemite public beta. Do you plan to use it as your daily driver? Are you going to risk all and install over Mavericks, are you going to install it on a partition. Or are you going to play safe and not install it at all?

So, let the countdown begin.

I am going to upgrade my mavericks to this. I have a good time machine backup so I am not worried too much. With it being a public beta, I am sure Apple assumes most people to install it this way. Plus you can even upgrade from the beta to the final release.

Definitely gonna go for it on my personal/home computer. If its for the public then the bugs probably won't be *that*bad

I'm playing it safe. I have an external SSD all prepped and ready for Yosemite. I have no desire to but a beta over top my stable, working, OS.
