Apple Mac OS X (10.10) Yosemite Developer Preview 1 available for download

Earlier today, Apple officially announced OS X Yosemite at the Worldwide Developers Conference, as the company's latest iteration of its desktop operating system. As expected, the Cupertino company followed this by releasing the first Developer Preview of the platform to those who want to test and provide feedback towards improving the product.

To get the new OS X Developer Preview, you will need to register to Apple’s Developer Program and grab the update using the download code in Mac App Store. For $99 per year, Apple’s Dev Center gives you exclusive access to beta releases long before they're released to the public, and although they’re great for app-makers looking to test general compatibility, they also offer a great insight for those merely intrigued by what’s upcoming on the Apple software horizon.

As for features, OS X 10.10 is, as we expected, a rudimentary improvement upon OS X 10.9 Mavericks. The main alteration – as was correctly called by several reports leading up to today’s WWDC – is in the user interface, which now looks uniform with iOS thanks to the flatter, cleaner aesthetic that once again dispels skeuomorphism.
