So has anyone found out whats new in the latest update? I have one. When installing the update. It asked me for a separate password. I used to have my iCloud account password unlock my mac and now it is asking me to have a separate one. just wondered if anyone else had this?
Check roaring apps.com.
But yes I have those on my mac and have had no issues as of yet.
I'm still using my iCloud password in this beta. No change here..
To be honest, I don't think so. Even if most bugs are ironed out, app incompatabilities will remain for a while, and to be honest, many bugs will NOT be ironed out. I suggested waiting at least 7-8 months, after at least 3 major updates to the final.
Apple actually disconnected the Mac password from the iCloud password a few El Capitan updates ago, but it's just now asking you to change it.
This, SMB performance. File sharing in OS X has taken a performance and interoperability nose-dive ever since Apple decided to divorce with the Samba project. Couple that with the Apple-typical ZERO DOCUMENTATION and it has amounted to a mess in the enterprise space. (Completely aside of the roller-coaster of performance we lucky folks with NASes experience.)
I tested the past 3 betas in order to verify compatibility within my company. I talk about mostly standard office Software. I am very pleased with the stability of macOS Sierra so far that I am running it on my main MBP (on a second partition so that I could revert any time in case of trouble). From my personal experience I can say that it is going to be the most stable and reliable 10.1x.0 release ever.
Public beta 7 a retrograde step from public beta 6 for me.
Issues experienced in day one:
1. Chrome crashed playing video - freezing MacOS completely and requiring power cycle on Macbook Air. (One-off so far.)
2. WiFi dropping out frequently. (MBA is in static location with excellent signal strength on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.)
3. Feedback Assistant unable to upload large attachments, such as the 185 MB System Diagnostics file (sysdiagnose).
The latter problem of particular concern as, if it applies to others, Apple will presumably ignore or not be able to do much with their bug reports.
So quite an "eventful" day!
Before that, I was very happy with public beta 6, which seemed more stable than El Capitan 10.11.6 for the week or so I had it.

I meant different times between each OS. iOS & OSX betas used to release at the exact same time religiously, but this year its been completely different.
really? My old el capitan installation (Latest version) still uses my iCloud password!
I am also running PB 7 on an external HD and it is very good ......so far...touch wood!!
Hello all,
If today Apple launches macOS Sierra GM, can we download and make a bootable USB with that version?
Thanks in advice!

It will keep it as long as you don't mess with it. If you reinstall or change your password, it won't give you option.
