I hope we'd all standardize on the opposite: 2017-09-25.. it sorts properly when used in file and document names :-)
and there is no ambiguity, does 6/7/2017 mean 6th July or 7th June?

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.
Given that I read from left to right, I mean.
Sort of off topic but what has happened to the web design team at Apple? Their landing pages used to be extremely pleasant to read but by now I often struggle to read their headlines. The blurred background with text on top is not easy on my eyes at all. Perhaps my eyes are starting to go bad... Their page for the new iPhone had the same issues. In my opinion their web designs has gone down hill this year.
Yeah, this page isn't the best example, but they're still killing it with the product pages https://www.apple.com/iphone-x/ https://www.apple.com/iphone-8/

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 remember the first time I saw Spotlight. It was magic. Then came Expose. Wireless that worked. Sleep that worked. Trivial configuration of things like sshd, apache and samba. Amazing days. Lately I only upgrade when forced. I ran 10.8 until earlier this year when I finally upgraded my machine. Then I spent a week trying to figure out how the hell to get gdb working again because binaries now require code signing an…
The biggest change I’ve noticed since testing each of the betas and now running the final release is the significant decrease in interface / UI latency, it feels significantly faster to use and is a welcome upgrade.
That'll be because Windowserver now uses Metal 2 to render UI, so if Apple's claims that it's 10x faster than Metal 1, then that's probably where the UI performance improvements have come from.

Yup, it's a well established truism at this point that if you need a stable system (or don't have excellent data backups) you should never install the .0 version of any Apple OS. And while many Cocoa apps should be forwards-compatible out of the box, if you rely on Homebrew it may be several months before the packages you need are all updated.
if you rely on Homebrew it may be several months before the packages you need are all updated. A large part of software in Homebrew is already pre-compiled (bottled) for High Sierra: % find Formula -name '*.rb' | wc -l 4363 % find Formula -name '*.rb' -exec grep "sha.*:high_sierra" {} \; | wc -l 3634 Most of the stuff that I have been installing the last one or two weeks was installed as bottles.

SIP is protecting you from rootkits. And it’s pretty trivial to turn off if you want to do that.

There definitely still is ambiguity if you're unfamiliar with the format. Show someone "2017-07-06" and they still might be unsure whether that's June or July.
