Apple previews macOS Sierra to the public
Apple today released the first public preview of macOS Sierra, this year's upgrade to the operating system formerly known as OS X.
The preview arrived a week earlier than Computerworld's forecast; that prediction was based on the span between the developer unveiling and public beta of last year's OS X El Capitan.
This was the third year straight that Apple has made previews available to the general public. The Cupertino, Calif. company restored the beta program in 2014 with OS X Yosemite after 14 years of shunning early code to non-developers.
Apple's registered developers were handed Sierra on June 13, the opening day of its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). During the same keynote presentation, Apple also rebranded OS X as "macOS," a nod to the nomenclature of its more widespread iOS.
