To get the preview, you'll need to sign up through the OS X Beta Program site. Once you've done that, Apple will email you instructions for downloading and installing the beta on your Mac. It's only accepting 1 million total public beta users, however, so best to get in early.

Of course, the usual caveats that go with beta software apply. Developers have had access to Yosemite since Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, and it's already been through a few iterations, so the software is more stable now, but it's still not complete and bound to be buggy. Apple recommends installing the public beta on a secondary machine, and performing a full backup before doing so.
A few more notes: Although developers typically get updates every two weeks, those in the public beta program won't get them quite as often. If you previously signed up for the beta program for OS X Mavericks, you'll need to sign up again at the above link to join for Yosemite. Fortunately, when to official release arrives in the fall, you'll be able to install it easily without erasing or re-installing old versions.
Not impressed with a particular Yosemite feature? The beta provides a direct line back to Apple in the form of a Feedback Assistant. And, yes, they know the font looks different.
In fact, the new font (Helvetica Neue, for those scoring at home) is just the tip of the California-themed iceberg. Version 10.10 Yosemite marks a big visual redesign for OS X, incorporating many of the design changes that began in iOS 7, including translucent layers and flatter, simplified icons. Even the folder icons have been redrawn.
There are plenty of new features, too, although not all of them are yet available in the beta software. Handoff, for instance — where the Mac can pick up a task or activity directly from an iPhone — requires iOS 8, which obviously isn't available yet. Others, such as iCloud Drive, have not yet launched.
Apple hasn't yet announced an exact date for the launch of OS X Yosemite, just that it will arrive in the fall. The previous version, Mavericks, launched on Oct. 22, 2013.
Correction: This piece originally implied users could download OS X Yosemite Wednesday, but Apple will actually be making it available Thursday.
