OS X Yosemite - Developer Preview 3

I actually think Apple uses Azure cloud services these days and not Akamai.

At least for iCloud they do, so I would imagine for the rest as well.

Is it possible to install the beta on an external drive (flash/hdd) and boot from there?

Yes you can install on an external and boot from it.... this is from my test installation on an external

Run the installer from a working Mac, when it asks about hard drives there is a button (cant remember what it says) select that and then select the external drive you want to install on to. And it will install as usual.

Does it have to be a clean drive or partition?

Not sure, I just had a drive I wasn't using, formatted that and installed 10.10 on it

Upgraded from Maverick and no issues. VMware Fusion also works. Most of the 'menu bar' apps don't fit in - ie Evernote, istats etc.

I suppose it will take some time to get used to the new iTunes and the flat look.

The new iTunes I think is far better, also iTunes Match seems to be working better for me.

Thanks, anyone running Parallels 8? Read some conflicting reports 8 has issues.

Aw shoot. Running Parallels 8 - dodged upgrading with Mavericks, but will probably have to bite the bullet on Yosemite...

Definitely wait though, won't be surprised if a Parallels 10 gets released in September for Yosemite.
