Before I get hate mail, I do understand the anger and frustration of failed installations. I had that happen with Mavericks and it took forever to get a stable version working for me. But Yosemite has been a whole different experience. I was one of a million beta testers and faithfully installed each of the 6 betas and the final gold master. At no time did Yosemite fail to install. Oh yea, it was slow because I chose to update on a release day. But it always worked. There were bugs in betas that got fixed, some that didn't but there is nothing wrong which prevents me from having a good computer experience. I still have a wish list too. But, I have had no crashes, no failed installations and no broken programs since installing the gold master. Other than Snow Leopard 10.6.8, this has been the best OS upgrade experience I have ever had.
It would be much worse on the dark side. I bought Parallels and Windows 8.1 and the Windows installation failed. When I finally got it installed, there were 68 "patches" waiting to download and install. In the last month, there have been over 150 "patches" for what the pundits call a good OS release. I know that problems are the focus of forums like this but I suspect that there are a million installations which had no problems. Hang in they though. We are here to help if we can.
