So I bit the bullet tonight and went ahead and upgraded to the public beta. Besides a pretty severe memory leak (which isn't surprising for a beta), it's honestly a fantastic release in the making. I've already switched to Dark Mode, the dynamic backgrounds are great, the new app store looks great, and a lot of the new apps and feature adjustments are very polishing. Oh and stacks! I wish this feature was available on folders outside of just the Desktop, but let me tell you, this feature cleans up the desktop like none other! It organizes files based on their type and declutters everything quite well.

Only issue I've had is with yarascanservice. It's a process that starts immediately after bootup and quickly consumes 22GB+ of RAM (my mac only has 16GB!!) I had to go into Activity monitor and force quit it. Went ahead and reported it to Apple, hopefully that gets fixed quickly. It appears to be some sort of antivirus that eludes just about everyone. It's apparently new and nobody really knows anything about it.

Otherwise, never been prouder to own a Mac. Windows has become less and less viable as time has gone on for me. 

Anyone else used the new beta, or looking forward to its final release?

@ Darth, see that stacks thing sounds neat, and the fact that Apple now includes their own Anti-Virus in their OS means they are probably getting a better handle on the threats to their systems given their market share is large enough to be targeted more actively.

I don't have anything newer than 2001 but I keep a few I mac's around and like them it's just not worth the cost to me yet.
