I hope we'd all standardize on the opposite: 2017-09-25.. it sorts properly when used in file and document names :-)
And all on UTC, please. End this timezone and daylight saving nightmare.
I'd also like metric time, but abolishing timezones and daylight saving would be more than good enough.

I agree, the good thing about Apple and Microsoft is I know what they want to sell me. Apple want me to buy relatively expensive devices on a regular basis and ideally a cloud subscription. Microsoft want me to buy subscriptions to their cloud services and ideally devices running their OS. In both cases the value for them is fairly clear and they have limited incentives to do anything that might jepordise those reven…
Google doesn't sell user information. Also, Microsoft also has a search engine and ad business that do the exact same thing and just because it isn't successful that doesn't allow you to give them a free pass. Additionally, they preinstall third party bloatware on their OS and send tremendous amounts of telemetry back to their servers.

> And yet, microsoft started incorporating ads inside of windows 10. Using daily, only thing I've seen - notification about Edge (which came with the OS). what?
Candy crush showed up in my windows menu every day for a while.

Took some time to realise that "Available 9.25" meant 25th September. The box looked more like a disabled button.
Yes, American dates are confusing and illogical at the best of times, I wish America would standardise on the international ascending order date style of 25/09/2017.
The biggest change I’m hoping for (but not expecting) is the ability to sort shared iCloud albums by time taken, not time added to the album. Currently they’re all but useless for something like a shared album from a vacation, because it groups photos by when family members upload them. I tend to upload photos at the end of each day, but other family members who were shooting on a normal camera waited until the end o…
The biggest change I’m hoping for (but not expecting) is the ability to sort shared iCloud albums by time taken, not time added to the album. This isn't a criticism of you, but when a major OS update comes down to trivia like this, it seems a bit of a shame to me. I remember the 10.2-10.6 releases and just how significant they were and it feels like rearranging deck chairs in comparison nowadays.
I still haven't updated to Sierra because I depend on Karabiner. Just tried the newest version of Karabiner-Elements and it still doesn't do everything I need.

What markets is it that you feel Microsoft have a monopoly in? Desktop/Laptops is now a 3-way split between MS, Apple and Google with chromebooks. Mobile is a split between Apple and Google with MS out of it. Cloud is Amazon out in front with MS in second place. Office is the one area where MS could be considered to have a monopoly but even there I think cloud players are gaining ground and also (AFAIK) there's no ad…

Don’t you mean 11. Jan 2016? ;)
that way would work fine, too. i can look at that and tell what date we are talking about at a glance. the real problem is displaying both the month and the day of the month as one- or two-digit numbers, which leads to ambiguity. display the month as a three-character string, and the year as a four-digit number, and we are all on the same page again.
YYYY-MM-DD
DD.MM.YYYY
MM/DD/YYYY
Notice the separators. Except for parts of Japan and Australia, these are international standards and used everywhere.

Ok, should I expect it now finally to be case sensitive? Or is that still science fiction for MacOS?

I haven’t used OpenOffice much? But it feels much less polished than Office or iWork. I guess there’s Google Docs, but even that’s limited compared to even iWork. Is there anything actually decent that can be used for “Office” stuff on Linux?
GDocs has been the primary office tool for the past several jobs I've had across the entire staff. What can it not do that office can do?
Google docs are great as a Word replacement, but Google's spreadsheet offering is a spreadsheet. Excel is an extremely sophisticated development environment.
