I updated last night....no issues. Things look a little "cartoon-ish", if that makes sense. I'm sure I'll get used to it.
I'm disappointed that my early-2011 MBP won't do the handoff / continuity / sms thing. Guess it's time to upgrade.

just the overall layout, colors, icons, shapes. I'm sure I'll get used to it, and it prob doesn't look the best on my non-retina MBP

except my 2011 MacBook Air does have Bluetooth 4.0 and it still didn't get Handoff or AirDrop.
According to Apple's Yosemite compatibility page SMS should work as long as you have iOS 8.1 installed on your phone.

I was hoping for a iPhoto overhaul but nope.
They have a whole new Photos.app application that will be available early next year.

I couldn't even get my phone to bluetooth to my computer at all or my iPad for that matter. But it's been working with my car. And my work phone which is still on iOS7 connected fine.

Any idea why mine is saying the download will take 1 day and 8 hours?

Yeah, it's weird. My iPad 3rd gen won't do the SMS exchange with my phone, but I can answer phone calls on the iPad.

because Apple software is historically bad at predicting ETF (Estimated Time to Finish)

just tried calling through my CPU, I didn't have my best speaker set up. (it's a bluetooth speaker that I have to turn on) but it sounded really good and the person on the other end heard me very clearly.
to awesome.
Now a question can you pick up your phone and continue the conversation on your phone, and leave the room maybe even lose the wifi signal or do you have to stay on wifi or at your CPU?

Virtualization software usually needs to be updated to support new versions of OS X.

Digital Trends review.
quote:LINK
In early 2012, Apple CEO Tim Cook famously compared Microsoft’s attempt to make Windows an OS that’s friendly to tablets, notebooks and desktops alike akin to combining a refrigerator with a toaster. Consumers have largely agreed with this criticism, if Windows 8’s and 8.1’s paltry usage numbers are any indication. However, some enjoy having mobile features integrated into their PC.
This is the kind of tough problem that Apple has been adept at tackling, and Yosemite is its latest attempt to make the magic work for everyone that has bought in to its ecosystem.
Unlike Windows, which fully embraced a mobile-ish interface, but failed to bring desktop-friendly mobile features along for the ride, OS X Yosemite is dedicated to serving notebook and desktop users. At the same time, it adds mobile functionality where it matters.
The result is a wonderful operating system that provides the best of both worlds without slipping into a compromised, hybridized approach.
Mac OS X Yosemite is an excellent operating system that deftly adds mobile features without compromising the function of the desktop space. In this sense, it’s light-years ahead of Windows 8.1. Continuity, Spotlight, and the new version of Safari are way ahead of the default features Microsoft provides in Windows.
There are a few problems. We’re particularly annoyed by iCloud Drive, which bakes cloud storage right into the operating system, but simultaneously provides far less space than it should. We were also surprised by how little impact the Notification Center has on everyday use.
Even with those issues though, this free update is clearly better than Windows 8.1, and is also a major leap forward from OS X Mavericks. While more configurable operating systems will always win the love of enthusiasts looking to tweak every last variable, Yosemite is the clear choice for desktop owners who just want to get things done.
