Please go back to a functional GUI/OS. This current version is utter garbage in my opinion. And I've been on Macs since OS 7. As someone else said, even that image of a possible look is atrocious.
Got a tip for us?

The Contacts app is an absolute abomination in Tahoe and I am stunned that they shipped this.
I'd say it's like a student's first Swift project, but that would be an insult to students.
I really hope they don’t mess up the macOS UI for those of us without touchscreens.

Contacts app is a nightmare on Tahoe.
Hey there. Not sure if anyone else around here is a heavy user of MacOS' Contacts app. Under Tahoe RC, it's becoming almost useless to me. I'm quite frustrated. Been using Contacts for 15 years, I got more than 6000 records and keep the app always open while working. The interface under Tahoe...

Touch screens are completely unnecessary. They're just a new way for your mac to break.

Here's how it's gonna look when there's anything other than a relatively clean and simple Wallpaper behind your app:

Going all the way back to Steve Jobs, Apple executives have been telling us that a touch screen on a Mac doesn't work. I wonder what suddenly changed their opinion.

Yep same, using this stuff for decades, absolute garbage. iOS is a mess too.

Oh wow, that's so pretty! Love it and hope they don't can it before release.

This Liquid Glass is getting out of control. Wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing became a thing.

I vote to make that the MR forum slogan!
The problem is, when you need the latest Xcode features, you have no choice but to upgrade—hence why I’m putting up with Lurid Glass on one of my Macs.

NOT. CLEAR. ENOUGH.
I can _still_ see the opaque wood desk. And I bet the planet Earth below it is also not clear. I wanna see the stars behind my Mac. Do better!

Guys, the new OS (26/27) was developed with a focus on the release of MacBooks with touchscreens - it's obvious...
My subjective opinion: producing MacBooks with a touchscreen is a big mistake of Apple when you have the best trackpads on the market. It just doesn't make sense

What I cannot stand about Tahoe is the cartoonishly large radius for the rounded corners on windows. It looks ridiculous.
I had fomo when I was a running older macs and not able to update to latest os but now I can I can’t think of any new Mac OS features that I use in the last 5 years…
The last think I really remember that’s made a difference to my daily use is desktop and document sync with iCloud .
Other than that it’s all the same to me

Sounds like I'll be sticking with macOS Sequoia a while longer... lol.

This also sounds like a Vision Pro-adjacent UI thing, in which the OS watches your hands/fingers to receive input.

iOS 26.4 will feature Siri 2.0
Not a single feature for Siri 2.0.
Apple is working on Siri 3.0
In the meanwhile iOS 27; will have a Siri chatbot.
Apple has failed big time but at least we will have a very exppencive Apple Fold... and a pendulum, and AirPods with AI and glasses.
But how will these devices work if they can't get their AI running as said in 2024?

At least with my Intel MacBook Pro I won't be annoyed by constant pleas to update to MacOS 27.
But apparently I'll still be nagged to update to MacOS26.
I'll never escape...

I don't understand why the article's author chose that particular image to illustrate macOS 27. It seems to be an image of an icon-editing app, rather than the Finder or some other more commonly-used app, and so it's not representative of much of anything except the UI decisions made by the people who wrote that app. Or maybe a person didn't write the app--maybe Claude did, but he's not a person yet.
From an academic perspective, I can see why an icon-editing app would show translucency, so that the person creating the icon can see how it will affect the visibility of their icon as it's moved around on the desktop. But people who create icons can/should choose to make their icons opaque to retain visibility. The sidebar translucency is one of the same old nonsensical aspects of Liquid Glass that began with the 26 series of OSs, so nothing new there.

Don't forget visibility, consistency, stability, functionality...
