“If you can’t wait to see how Siri works on Apple’s upcoming desktop platform, head over to beta.apple.com,” Mariella Moon reports for Engadget. “Cupertino has just released the public beta of macOS Sierra, and you can download it today from the company’s website.”

MacDailyNews Take: It’s snappy!
But, remember, it’s a beta, so it’s not for production machines. Here’s how to make a bootable macOS Sierra installer drive.

Not able to download this…….WTF??!! Tooo busy?
Nobody ever goes to beta.apple.com anymore. It’s too busy.
Yogi we miss you…………………!!! LOL!!
4.21 of 4.85 GB downloaded and a freshly wiped external HD ready.
I would not download this version of the beta, it is so buggy as to be virtually useless. Right now it is anything but “snappy”. Apple sent out an update a couple of days ago to developers; the previous version worked fine, but the update has caused all sorts of problems, the Developers’ Forum is filled with reports of instability. I’ve had Finder freeze several times now, and several Apple apps are not working correctly. Unless you’ve got an extra machine you just want to play with I would not recommend installing Sierra right now.
