Next macOS version

The next version will allow Macs to connect to the Internet and will be called Sierra On-Line.

This bodes well

Especially for those of us who have fond memories of Snow Leopard. Back in the days when successive OSX releases made the system faster and more responsive, even on the same hardware.

macOS could definitely use a mostly bug-fixes and performance improvements release. Windows is still the champ when it comes to flaky behavior and unintelligible errors, but macOS has been drifting in that direction over the last few releases.

Scrape the weird stuff off of Preview and Mail, and I will strongly consider an iMac Pro.
