Apple has started sending out invitations to AppleSeed users inviting them to take advantage of a new beta seed for Windows, as shown in the screenshot above. The beta will enable features that would normally be reserved for OS X Yosemite or iOS 8, such as iCloud Drive, on the Microsoft-built operating system.

Developers were previously able to download this software for testing, but this is the first time that non-developer users have been granted access. Only a limited number of applicants have been added to this program so far, it seems.

iCloud for Windows was initially announced during WWDC earlier this year. It will be released this fall alongside the other software announced at that time.

Thanks tipsters!

    I wonder if it’ll be up to par with the Mac versions despite having to run on non-Apple hardware.

    How is this different from iCloud Control Panel for Windows that’s been out for years, other than adding iCloud Drive?

    Does this mean that theoretically 1Password for Windows could stay in full sync with 1Password for Mac / iOS via iCloud? Or is this just for iCloud drive?
