Apple Seeds First Beta of macOS Monterey 12.4 to Developers
Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming macOS Monterey 12.4 update to developers for testing purposes, with the new update coming three weeks after the release of macOS Monterey 12.3, which introduced support for Universal Control.

Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and after the appropriate profile is installed, betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences.
According to Apple's release notes, Universal Control in the new iPadOS 15.5 and macOS Monterey 12.4 updates is not compatible with machines running macOS 12.3 or iPadOS 15.4, so Apple suggests that as a workaround, users should update their Universal Control devices to the new betas.
We don't yet know if there are any other features in macOS Monterey 12.4, but if we find anything new after installing the software, we'll update this article.

Now Apple can barely get rid of the teething problems by the time the new macOS is out and also software developers are in a constant battle trying to support the latest macOS. Apple would not only improve customer satisfaction but save a significant amount of money if they went with a 2-year update cycle with macOS.
So Tim if you are listening, maybe just skip the macOS update this summer and get Monterey working as well as Snow Leopard. Trust me, people don't need another Safari facelift or newly redesigned apps. Get the stuff you already have in tip-top shape and people will thank you. And so will the stockholders!
High Sierra was 100 times more stable.
I first approached the mac with Snow Leopard...oh how I do miss the ancient days of "it just works"

Once we receive the last version of Monterey, I don‘t plan to touch the next annual iteration with a 30-foot pole until at least the spring of 2023. How many other people on MacRumors were forced into Monterey with the purchase of a new 14” or 16” laptop?
