Apple Releases "OS X Yosemite" Public Beta 2 to Testers

Apple has just Released the 1st Update to the "OS X Yosemite" Public Beta, about a Month after the 1st Beta Shipped. If you Skipped the 1st Beta but, would Like to Give this One a Try, Apple's Sign-Up Page still Appears to be Accepting New Testers (the Company Said that, it would Close the Program Down after the 1st Million Sign-Ups, a Number that apparently Hasn't been Hit Yet). The Build Number of the New Beta indicates that, it's Roughly the Same as Yosemite Developer Beta 6, which was Released Earlier this Week to Registered iOS and OS X Developers. The 1st Public Beta was More or Less Identical to Developer Beta 4. In the Space of those 2 Developer Betas, Apple has been Working to Squash Out Bugs and has Further Yosemite-Ized More Traditional OS X Components.


The Volume and Brightness Overlays Have been Changed to Match the Frosted Translucent Look Used Elsewhere in the OS and Apple Added a New Batch of Yosemite-Themed Wallpapers. Additional Application and System Preferences Icons Have also been Redesigned to Match Yosemite's Simpler, "Flatter" Look. The New Beta Can be Downloaded via Software Update and Requires a Restart to Install — if you've Installed a Standard OS X Point Update before, you Already Know the Drill. We Don't Know How Many More Versions of the Public Beta Apple will Release between Now and Yosemite's Official Launch Date in the Fall but, Beta Users will be Able to Update Directly to the Finished "Golden Master" Build of the OS without Having to Completely Reinstall Yosemite. John Siracusa's Full Review of Yosemite will be Posted Once the Final OS Ships.
