What new features at you most looking forward to, SwordMsker? Auto unlock sounds interesting.

It could. In an office environment, not so much. Siri on the Mac sound's interesting. Although I already have a clipboard app that crosses between differing devices for copying and pasting, a system native version that does the same thing would be welcome for all Apple devices and quite useful.

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.

That makes sense. Microsoft has an auto-login feature called "Windows Hello", but they had to add special hardware (basically 3D infrared camera) to the device to make it secure. Maybe the next generation of Macs will have something similar.

Siri on the Mac sounds like another response to Microsoft, which has Cortana in Windows 10. However, Siri is badly behind Cortana at this point, and I don't see Apple being able to grow a division like Bing to compete in the short term.

I think the new file system is the most interesting. The clipboard thing sounds great, too. I would love to have that feature.
