The latest version of Apple's macOS operating system, macOS High Sierra, has been released. If you have upgraded your system already, how did the upgrade go? Did you encounter any problems? If you have not yet updated, why have you chosen not to?

    Actually I am quite happy with my MacOS Sierra. I can't remember exactly where I downloaded it from, but the process may have included some peer to peer file sharing software. Mine runs happily inside a VirtualBox on a regular PC. Similar installations can run directly on the iron. It's actually not a terrible effort. Paternalistic end-user experience, a.k.a iTunes is of course an abomination but the developer experience is actually not terrible.

    At the moment I run the following operating systems

    Windows 10, developer mode, windows sub-system for linux
    Mac OS X Sierra, all developer accounts and options active
    Elementary Linux, a few minor mods to render it usable but actually this thing is pretty great out of the box

    I find the three systems to be very close in terms of user experience with the linux system maybe edging out the competition due to it having the most mature and refined Terminal application
