I annoyed the IT guys at work and they said they'd install Tahoe on my work laptop as punishment. Is this allowed?

Ok .3 Beta 2 is much better than Beta 1 and obviously better than .2 Release

Apple you can do this. Make it better.

I can see at least 20% perf improvement at least day to day operations on my Intel MP

Still seeing only updates to 15 Sequoia. That’s because when I signed up for the beta channel I turned off any updates to 26.

Seeing as how v26 is the beta itself, I’ll keep tracking the news on MacRumors until Apple releases v27.1 at the end of the year. By then v26 will finally be out of beta. Hopefully.
