I will only update if Safari is snappier.

Is this the version to use on mission critical production servers?

no, if you have to ask....its even more a no. for mission critical even a few months after a new OS launch is still a no

If there's anyone here who decided to install this public beta, what's the build number? Is it the same as the revised Developer Preview 3 build, or is it something else?

Did Mac OS X Server come back from the dead?

I think your sarcasm meter might be broken.

I went in on the developer beta a week ago. Even that was vastly better than 26.x. Zero regrets on this update. 26 was an utter disaster IMO.

Assume you don't know how many people ask these questions as a serious question. Most people don't even know what a beta means. have you also no seen people crying after installing a Mac or IOS beta online recently that had no idea is was a bad idea......and are shocked when something goes wrong/ I mean the least beta has made me 1000's on helping people sort our their messes they caused themselves so far 🤷‍♂️ one being a user of this very forum

I enjoyed the floating sidebar, that will be a miss for me.

will never happen, but it would be nice if apple would give intel users 27, 26 has been a cluster @#$@#q. even dreaded microoft extended windows 10 even another year recently because the costs of computers have skyrocketed with the AI nonsense. the fact is that for most tasks my mid 2013 macbook pro is perfectly usable, yes not my newer macbook pro M3 speed, but surprisingly serviceable and fun to use with OCLP, so to have many of these systems including more powerful ones go to the trash is sad on many levels, not to mention the environment.

1,000s? Please send some of them my way. My 2000 tacoma is in the shop, my 2004 is burning oil, and my 2008 was totaled last week.

I'm waiting to hear what Tim Cook gets blamed for in this beta...

In case it's **** you can restore from TM in 20 minutes, or better yet install on a separate drive.

Can anyone confirm if the issues introduced with DB3 are resolved with the DB3 rebuild released today? I'm still on DB2.

Even on early betas, both of my MacBooks (M1 and M2) work better / faster on 27 Golden Gate.
And once the indexing is complete the searching as much more effective, etc. It’s well worth installing.
