Though who knows what their last minute motivations or reasons were.

I would guess it is soemthing they decided wasn't working as well as it should (or maybe a vulnerability) and they pull it rather than delaying release.

Which is silly, but very Apple.

Very "US stock market" ... have to meet the expected release date. Even if not finished.

Oh dear. At least it has a rollback. Unlike my colleagues whom updated to Sequoia and then found VPN to customer failed, so had to backup data (externally!); wipe the entire Mac, and reinstall Sonoma.

Was that 24H2 or something else?

Preview Build 26120.2130 which was released 2 days ago for the Dev Channel. It’s failed and rolled back twice now. Think that’s a sign it no likey my ThinkPad which is only a few months old 🥲

It will be incompatible drivers, as with my work issued 2022 machine. Lenovo customise some of the intel stuff, so we have to wait for Lenovo.

One of the better things I have done in the computer world was to change to Mac, but I will leave Sequoia where it is for a while longer.

I used to be a fan of Mac, but it seems Mac is heading the way of iPad with controls everywhere. For GUI (e.g. web / Word,Excel etc) I prefer Windows, but for servers, its Linux for me. They _all_ have their oddities, and neither is going anywhere!

If you rely on your machine for work, waiting for the first .1 release is always a good plan.
