The developer beta of OS X El Capitan has been available since WWDC in June, but to get it you needed to sign up for one of Apple's $99-a-year developer accounts. Today, as promised, the company is expanding the beta to include any member of the general public with an Apple ID and the courage required to install it.
There doesn't appear to be any kind of limit on the number of people who can sign up for El Capitan, while the Yosemite beta last year was only available to the first million people to sign up. The first public beta build is about the same as Developer Beta 3, which was also released this week.
The new build of the operating system should be broadly similar to the first developer beta we looked at a month or so ago, just with better stability and fewer bugs. El Capitan builds on Yosemite both functionally and visually while introducing some under-the-hood improvements and new APIs for developers, much as Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion did for Leopard and Lion, respectively.
