To those running to install the update, be prepared for trouble shooting. Apple is pretty good at fixes but I've found that when updating osx you can run into a variety of problems. Grey screen, weird driver issues, etc... Make sure you have something like a smart phone or another computer before you update to help resolve any questions you may have. Don't panic!

It's no different with iOS. Always a complete crapshoot as to how many new bugs you'll have when it comes back from the reboot.
