...So the headline doesn't really match up with the content of the article. C'mon, MacRumors, I expect more from you than this. The people who read your site are enthusiasts, we'll read the articles that you post about an OS update without you click-baiting us.

For the brave ones - as usual let us know how it goes!
Bricked Mac. Ejected warp core. Resulted in temporal rift. Went back in time. Stopped myself from updating. Panicked in seeing my future self and clicked 'Update' regardless. Time paradox created.
Sorry Geordi, I just love your username. :D

The most magical release of Sierra yet.
I hope they debugged the hell out of Safari. It's been a pain to use.

Speaking of actual 'improvements,' there was Snow Leopard (10.6).
Snow Leopard was a dog (rather than a cat) until about 10.6.4. I'm sure one of the builds (.3?) had that bug which wiped user data if you had a guest account enabled.

I hope this version of safari doesn't kill the mac anymore.
Edit) Confirmed: Safari in 10.1 still kills the mac. :oops:

Soon as I see a link for the combo, it’s clone and update time.
No combo for a .1 update, there's no other updates to combo with.
