“This weekend was special because I finally got to install and try out macOS Sierra, the successor to Mac OS X El Capitan, and Apple’s latest and greatest for the Mac,” Jeffrey Mincey writes for Mac360. “If you don’t mind that the Mac has become a bit more iOS-like in recent years, you’re in for a treat. macOS Sierra looks like fun.”
“First, Siri comes to the Mac,” Mincey writes. “Siri searches well using Spotlight, handles iTunes, launches apps, and performs a few other tasks, but she won’t do a Starbucks run. Second, the Universal Clipboard. For those Mac users who have never used a clipboard manager, the Universal Clipboard – which simply makes whatever is on the Mac’s clipboard available on other Apple devices – will seem like a wonderful gift… Third, Messages on the Mac gets some of the love found with Messages on iPhone and iPad. That means plenty of iCandy with animations, built-in applications, stickers, even predictive emojis.”
“Apple has much more going on in macOS Sierra and as I continue to take it for a test drive I’ll provide updates,” Mincey writes. “macOS Sierra is shaping up to be one of the most fun – and less geeky – Mac OS upgrades in recent memory.”

MacDailyNews Take: macOS Sierra certainly is fun, but remember that it’s a public beta, so don’t deploy it on your production machines.
