The new dock feels pretty clunky the way it completely obscures what's below it.
Think the blurred background effect could be toned down massively in places. Like how the iOS volume indicator blocks so much it may as well just be a white box, because either way it blocks most of the video below it.

Beta means beta, don't install it on your work machine for at least a few days when issues will become apparent.

"Can you finally duplicate, delete or move files in application file browse windows? Please say yes - this is one thing that needs to happen like Windows."
It won't happen and it shouldn't, because it would conflict with OSX Finder behaviour. In Windows, when moving a folder in application file browse window, you copy or move it. In OSX, it moves you to the folder, I find it much more useful.
Try that: open a file browse window from an app, then move a folder from a regular Finder window into it — voilla, you're now browsing that folder. In Windows, you would have moved it.
- Duplicate/delete could be fine (as recently introduced name editing is), but move/copy won't make sense.raf
- people who are used to an OS tend to hate on the other OS.inteliboy
- Yes yes yes. I LOVE the OS X "drag to navigate to" feature. Use it all the time. Most people don't know about it.nb
- But, they could offer a right-click menu that allows for deleting.nb
- sorry - I have used macs my whole working life (and some windows). duplicating a file, deleting a file or moving files within file browse windows makesfadein11
- makes perfect sense and works great on Windows. it saves an extra process in workflow. I think you are getting confused with something elsefadein11
- something else here.fadein11
- makes suggestion of improvement and I get called a hater - fucking fanboi knobends. fuck off.fadein11
- after rereading you have totally misunderstood and make perfect sense - doesn't conflict with any behaviour.fadein11

- so weird you see that... it's totally smooth and round on my screenmonospaced
- Also, Dell didn't make consumer products besides OEM PCs and some hardware, so it's not a fair comparison to Apple who does.monospaced
- not seeing that at all either...weird....exador1
- are you using a dell monitor perhaps?JG_LB
- Weird. Are you guys on retina or something? I'm just using a Macbook Air. Some things here don't look very nice.iCanHazQBN

I've been running it for 24 hours; a few rough transitions including iCloud Drive-related stuff, but now things seem fine.
The "dark mode" lacks full impact because of third party support for menu bar icons, Full iOS8 integration is lacklustre of course, etc.
Pretty tight for an initial "public" release; I like where it's headed...
...It's MUCH more tolerable/stable than the initial iOS7 beta I played around with when it was first released (I had to delete it as I couldn't stand it).

I'm really liking it. Took a few hours to get used to, but I like Apple's take on "flat design" much more than Microsoft's. The only annoyance visually are apps and icons that clash in appearance because they were designed for the old style.
