I really feel for the people who HAVE to be on the latest OS. Thankfully I'm able to always operate at n-1 for ~6mo and once the dust has settled I can upgrade safely. I might speed that up a little now that I have a work and a personal MacBook but only on my personal and only to play with SwiftUI. Even then, it's probably better to just run a VM with a throwaway iCloud account.

I love my mac and have no intention of switching but I really hope this is their Vista moment, or close to it, and they start doing better on the desktop.
