Logic pro 9 is X'ed out now. LPX works just as before no difference noted.
Other than that I barely notice any difference from Sierra. Took a while to convert the SSD but no issues so far of great consequence other than having to update a few utilities etc to latest HS versions.
Is it a new version though? I downloaded it directly from my developer account (where is was listed as build 17A365) and installed onto both a 2017 iMac 5K and a 2017 MacBook Pro. After a long, 40 minute install process I restarted and both computers are showing the unchanged 17A362A build.
its interesting that the graphic in the original post, concerning Intelligent Tracking Prevention, has the wording "Try to prevent cross-site tracking."
but in actual High Sierra just now downloaded onto my system the actual wording is "Prevent cross-site tracking."
maybe just a marketing wording choice of words.

Similar to my issue. I have a 1 Tb SSD and the original 1 Tb HDD in my late 2012 Mac Mini. OSX merges then into one ‘fusion’ drive and now I cannot install HS. In the process now of backing up wiping my system.
Does disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP) still work (boot to recovery, terminal and run: csrutil disable)? If so, we should be able to clean install, delete iTunes 12.7 and install 12.6.2 (as one approach, besides upgrading in place).
Also, any word on if CS6 will install/run in HS?

Use this at your own risk!!!! I had this happen a year or two ago. I finally held the power button until the puter shutdown. Waited about 30 seconds then started it back up and whatever I was installing started back up and completed. AGAIN! I MAKE NO PROMISES USE THAT AT YOUR OWN PERIL!!!Mine has been installing for the last 3 and a half hours, it hasn’t budged from the black screen with the Apple logo where it says “calculating time”
EDIT: This is on a late 2015 5K iMac with a 2TB fusion drive
Let my MBP do whatever it was trying to do behind the scenes, mds did like a gig of reading and writing. It stopped. Rebooted and the computer takes over a minute to start up with the internal drive.
Tried booting from El Capitan with my usb 3 external drive and it boots almost half the time even with tons of fonts and several startup apps. meh, I'll hold off on my work disks until the responsiveness returns.

That was not a clean install but an upgrade.
I did unplug my network while install just in case Apple tried to update it.
I don't know what version is included if you do a clean install.

I did an upgrade from Sierra with iTunes 12.6.2.20 and it kept version 12.6.

iTunes 12.6.2.20 on my squeaky clean install.
edit:
Install bugs so far:
Small audio glitch with my Apple Display defaulting to right speaker only.
Delay at start up around the 2/3 progress mark.
So your saying HS.0 has the older iTunes built into it's installer? If so I'm sure Apple will fix that in future versions. So keep the original installer around.
I don't think combo updaters ever fiddled with iTunes so that should be safe.
Hopefully future iOS 11.x update don't require 12.7 but I wouldn't count that out.
Example: Apple had an iTunes that worked on Windows XP but not on Lion for iOS 9. After a few iOS 9.x updates Windows XP no longer could see the iPhone.
Happily I will be staying on iOS 10 for a while and 12.6.x for a while. And mainly El Capitan or Sierra on my work machines.
i dont think it would work. because after dump keychain logs to open each entry it require your password. i am no expert on this but i tried to export my keychain logs with script to use on 3rd party password manager. for exporting and opening each entry it required my password.
I had same problem so shutdown the computer and it started a kernel panic loop... but tried hold cmd+r and it came to internet restore and downloaded high sierra again and this time it installed without problem and all my files was still available.. and second time i didnt forget to unplug external drive so was årobably that ones fault
Folks, you realize the Keychain exfiltration issue applies to OTHER VERSIONS OF MACOS, not just High Sierra? You might as well upgrade now; Apple will have to update all versions of macOS that they still support.

Nice, thanks. High Sierra is pretty underwhelming, but in the case of Logic, it being "boring" is a good thing.
Does it ever run faster?

iMac 27" mid 2011
Clean installed on internal hard drive on separate 100 GB partition to play around with and check stuff out.
Manually formatted to APFS during install using the installer's Disk Utility just for kicks.
Disk usage is 12.03 GB according to Disk Utility for install only.
APFS partition is read-write from Sierra (10.12.6) but unsurprisingly not from Yosemite (10.10.5) nor Snow Leopard (10.6).
On second boot it stalled on a very slow boot. I powered off after 10 minutes and rebooted. Subsequent boots went fine.
During installation it did a firmware upgrade including that deep beep that always makes my heart skip a few beats.
Otherwise it seems to run well here however I'm not in a hurry to be upgrading my main partition just yet. I want to run a few tests first and check for issues in the forums.
iTunes 12.6.2.20 is the version I got with a clean install of this initial High Sierra. iTunes 12.7 is available as an upgrade in the App Store.
