#2So, will it be macOS 10.12 or just macOS 12? I don't think they mentioned this during the presentation.

#3I hope all the cloud storage can be turned off. Depending on your job (e.g. confidential data) or how much you pay for bandwidth, these are some really bad features.

It's not like iOS where everything is locked down. You are root and can do anything you want on your machine. It should be pretty trivial to prevent the cloud storage stuff from running.

Ya that cloud storage thing needs to be able to be turned off for my personal use because I don't want that feature and for work otherwise I can never upgrade past 10.11 and will basically have to go back to a Windows machine when it comes time to replace my work machine.
Apple Pay in Safari seems very interesting. I wish they had come up with something that would have worked with any browser as my personal primary machine is Linux, but I can probably upgrade my old macbook to use that.

#6In OS X, the X is the tenth version of Mac OS. So this new version is now "Mac OS 10: macOS."
Unless they bump the version number, that is. Then it would be "Mac OS 11: macOS."

#8Funny thing, "macOS" (actually "мак ос" / "мак ось") was a slang name for OS X in Russian and Ukrainian languages all this time.

#9Does the fact that they didn't talk about UXKit mean that it's not happening?

I have to disable security by typing commands at a reboot to change system icons, so I'm not really root in the traditional sense on my Mac.
