All the New Features Coming to Your Mac Desktop This Fall

At this morning's annual developer conference, WWDC, the company announced its newest desktop operating system: macOS Sierra, which is slated to be ready for Apple customers this Fall. Although the name Sierra is in step with Apple's naming its desktop clients after California natural landmarks, it also marks a shift in its naming convention more generally: Apple desktop OS has replaced the suffix "X" with the prefix "mac," following the naming convention of the company's other hardware operating systems: tvOS, watchOS, and iOS. Siri joins the desktop OS with this next release. The idea is that you'll be able to use Siri much like you already use Finder and Spotlight, the traditional Apple desktop search engines. You can ask Siri to search for files, switch between apps, and do quick math. It can alos query the Internet and allow you to drag and drop those results into other apps running on your desktop.
