I actually am not thrilled with the return to “macOS” as a naming scenario.

With the closer relationship between OS X and iOS, I sort of thought the logical step would be to move their naming conventions closer - with the 10/X being the common thread...

But what I’m really curious about is exactly how different macOS will be from the current-shipping OS X.

I like the double pun of OS X and also the complete divorce it had from the old MacOS. . . but it may be time to go to something new after 18 years of OS X.

As to the changes, it will be an improvement of additions to the currently shipping version of OS X with not too many major alterations. Mostly extensions of the OS.
