Quoted from the http://tidbits.com/article/17633: "If you're running macOS 10.12 Sierra or earlier, and do not want to upgrade to 10.13 High Sierra right now, be careful because Apple has started pushing High Sierra to older Macs and making it all too easy to upgrade inadvertently." [...]

    I updated last week, and I've had some very strange issues that are seriously pissing me off.

    -Parallels is unstable, with the UI hanging (but not the underlying VM). If I force quit it and relaunch, that usually comes back
    -iCloud decided to hide all my folder contents even though I wasn't using the folder sharing thing. It also decided that most of the files that *were* in my icloud drive were "ineligible" or some bullshit. I ended up having to back all the data from my icloud folder, completely disable icloud drive, reboot, and put everything back, and then things *seem* to be ok again.

    Apple has really fucked up this dev cycle. iOS has gotten at least 5 patch updates just in the last two months, and this is the most unstable I've ever seen OSX, which is ironic considering that this is supposed to be a 'service pack' release.

    C'mon Apple, if I wanted to use Windows, then I'd BE using windows. The whole point of buying Apple is getting a higher calibre of product that I can trust. If they can't do that anymore, then their value proposition against Microsoft evaporates.
