   Not a lot of good reasons to upgrade to 27. They removed Rosetta and you have to reinstall that if you want it. So is MacOS turning into something that more regular people are going to have to maintain in the future or end up with something like Windows 11?

   I switched to MacOS 3 years ago because of Microsoft and the writing on the wall seems to say I got another year left before I'm forced into Linux. Because if I have to maintain my own OS then I might as well install Linux and do it once.

      Nearly everything is improved and the new Siri is great.

         Unless you're not running an M-series chip, then it's not really improving anything

            That's 6+ year old hardware then, so even in Apple's world, that's pretty old.

            If you're not running an Apple Silicon chip, you can't run macOS 27 at all.

         I wish I could revert to the old Siri on my iPhone 15 Pro. “Remind me in 2 hours to do XYZ” is dramatically slower now: not only does the operation take longer, but Siri consistently forgets the action and asks what I want to do in 2 hours.
