I wonder if this means their iOS feedback page actually lists MacOS 10.12 as an option now.
Edit: nope.

Apple Reveals First Public Sign of macOS 10.13

Apple should go back to the old OS X release scheme... 1.5 / 2 years between major releases!
I hope the os is renamed macOSPro.
Would be fun watching the sad who get frothed up daily with a major case of the shakes when Apple uses "Pro" in product names, go ballistic with all-you-can-eat tiny moans when "Pro" is extended to the OS.

They really did that? What's the point for doing so? It's logical for each team to work on one specific platform, focusing on that one, and therefore being able to bring about meaningful changes and improvements.
You're telling me that a company that releases a new version of their OS each year and has done so for years, is testing their OS in advance?! I'd never have guessed.
As a devoted Mac user I always looked forward to these updates. Alas, my Early 2008 Mac Pro is "obsolete." I would be delighted to buy a new Mac Pro but don't really want 2013 technology. Don't forget your roots, Apple.
Not duplicating work. Not having different features and functionality on different platforms. For example, it was only with Sierra that the PDF handling frameworks were unified. Before that viewing and editing PDFs had different features and compatibility in iOS and macOS (there will still be some differences in what features are exposed due the different UI in iOS and macOS).
That might be helpful if and when that's restricted to having same features between the platforms, but I hope that doesn't entail dumbing-down of a platform or taking away useful functions from one just to tailor it to the other. New to Mac so not sure if that has happened, but according to what I've read here, that has been the case. I admit I might be completely wrong though.
Sierra is the best yet: many, though not all, of the bugs that I have reported have been fixed.
Thanks for that article, and as I said earlier, I cannot find a single instance where that in itself can be positive. I agree if they help each other incorporate functions where both systems can work together (Handoff for example) but this is too much in my honest opinion.
So Macrumors is one of the "test" websites for Apple engineers....
I wonder how much of the "rumours" are actually information seeded by Apple to drive their stock price and how many posts here are being used as to pilot their ideas with "loyal" customers....

Don't forget the Airport Utility and iPhoto->Photos.
In your opinion. I went back to El-Capitan, so in my opinion it's not.
and then users can go into cry rooms because it isn't what they wanted.
My experience hasn't been as good as yours. Mail still hangs regularly on all my Macs, Activity Monitor crashes on my 2016 MacBook Pro at least once a day, I cringe when I send PDFs edited with Preview to my colleagues who use Windows, and Disk Utility is much less useful and reliable than it was a few years ago. And that doesn't count many user interface changes that, as best as I can tell, were implemented for the sake of change rather than usability.
I'd much prefer if Apple took an extra six months or more to provide a 10.13 release that addresses these problems while continuing to provide periodic updates to 10.12.
For me Sierra has been by far the worst OS X, sorry macOS since... ever. For some applications my machine (which is a 2013 Mac Pro) is unusable. Anything that uses TextEdit APIs runs like I'm using a Commodore 64. No, actually scrub that the Commodore 64 kept up with my typing, TextEdit (and Coda 2 and other software that uses the same APIs) can't keep up with me and when I scroll Activity Monitor goes into meltdown.
Fresh install didn't fix it. AppleCare said it's a bug in TextEdit and to sit tight for an update. If 10.12.4 doesn't fix things for me, I'm going back to El Capitan. At least I could get stuff done using that.
I just wish Apple would stop with the useless features on desktop (like Siri) and concentrate on actually making sure that the OS works properly for fundamental things (like typing) before shipping it out of the door.
Ah, those happy days of Snow Leopard... [sigh]

Skyline
Please? I don't even know what
Skyline is, but it sounds really cool. If not, I hope they move away from this mountain theme they have been using for the last few years. Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra. I want something new. And,
Skyline is easy to say, unlike El Capitan or Yosemite.

I just feel like Apple is removing what used to make a Mac different. The intro videos, the cool animations and user friendly interface, the interesting aspects, like the 3D dock, and just making everything boring and flat.
I've had a Mac since 2005, and my entire household uses Macs. The last few OS updates were fine...nothing earth-shattering on the outside, but very stable and reliable on the inside. The latter is more important to me. But Apple seems less focused on Macs than ever before. The new line of MacBook Pros are too expensive and limiting (My 13-inch with touch bar was returned). They need to focus more on powerful, updated hardware, than thinness and poor battery life. This is especially true with MS putting out better software (yes, it's true -- still not as good, but they are trying). The Mac Pro was designed so that changing processors and video cards was easy, yet 3+ years later, nothing. I'm starting to lose faith in Apple....
This.
I would love being able to select which folders sync and which folders are static in the iCloud Drive.
