Apple unwraps OS X Yosemite public beta Thursday

From InfoWorld: Apple will release its first public beta of OS X Yosemite early Thursday.

Redemption codes for the beta, the first OS X preview available to the public in 14 years, will go out via email tomorrow to those who have registered with the program, which Apple unveiled last month at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).

According to reports by people briefed by Apple, the Yosemite sneak peek will be available at approximately 10 a.m. PT, 1 p.m. ET.

The public beta will be identical to the fourth developer preview that Apple released on Monday. That update was available only to registered developers, who pay $99 annually for access to pre-release Mac software so they can begin crafting or modifying their own applications.

Apple will update the developer preview more frequently than it does the public beta. Apple issued two developer builds in June, another pair this month.
