Adoption of the OS X Yosemite beta has nearly doubled since its launch to the public yesterday, reports GoSquared.

Yesterday, the site wrote, "For the first time since 2000, Apple are releasing the beta of an OS X to the public. Around 1 million invites are expected to be sent out this week. This approach means it’s likely we’ll see the highest percentage of users on a yet-to-launch Mac OS ever."

Before the public release adoption was at 0.26%. Currently, it's at .50%.

If you haven't already signed up for the beta you can do so here.

Just reverted back to Mavericks. Yosemite does look good but breaks a whole lot of apps. No way you can use it as your primary. Hopefully the apps get updated soon and we can get to the official release.

Well if u install a BETA ther is no telling what will happen. I would not install it on any partition that you have important data on.

I'm using it as my main system. It works well enough that I can't say I've encountered any important bugs yet. Nothing that affects day to day use. Only minor things like a couple if apps that don't minimize and maximize like they used to. But the os itself seems solid. And it is faster to wake up and get right to work.

I create a new virtual machine in VM Fusion for Yosemite beta 1 on my computer. I won't risk my primary computer and upgrade Marvick.

I am installing it now as well. But that's not really a surprise. People who sign up the public beta would like to try the upcoming OS. I won't necessary call it adoption. Most of them are still use Marvick or other older OS X as their primary OS. It's risky and unwise to beta 1 as their primary.

Hardly surprising since a million people were able to sign up for the beta (I'm one of them).
