And, yes, people complained, as they will when macOS Big Sur is released (probably in the next few days).<\/p>\n<p>But my response will be the same: It may look iOS-like in many respects, but the macOS is still the macOS, and nothing in my daily workflow has changed since installing Big Sur.<\/p>\n<p>Now over the years, I\u2019ve always been among the first to install a beta version of a new macOS or iOS. As soon as I got news that they were out, I\u2019d install them on one of my devices. Indeed, I actually started dealing with betas when the original Mac OS 7 was being developed back in 1991.
