For years now, OS X has been Apple's core operating system. It's powered everything from iMacs to the MacBook Air, and it's been one of the most reliable operating systems for nearly 15 years.
The latest version, OS X Yosemite, was released to near-universal acclaim. It's fast, it's stable and it's easy to use — basically, if you're using an Mac computer, it's the easiest way to get things done. Actually, as far as statistics go, you're probably already using it: Apple revealed that Yosemite has seen a 55 percent adoption rate, giving it the fastest adoption rate of any operating system on any platform ever.
However, for Apple, Yosemite was just the start. It was a huge step forward in usability, but there's still more work to be done. Apple is already hard at work on its next operating system, titled OS X El Capitan — and its showing at WWDC 2015 wasn't just about all of the new features but when users will actually be able to get their hands on it.
While the improvements of El Capitan all sound great, it won't matter much if you're not able to use it. Thankfully, the wait for OS X El Capitan won't be long at all: Apple announced that a private developer beta for the system is launching today and will be followed up by a public beta in July.
Finally, the full OS X El Capitan will be available — as a free upgrade for absolutely everyone — later this year! For even more info on Apple's newest operating system, head on over to their official site.
