I said I wouldn't upgrade till March...

But I know I am going to tho. I just have to, Apple DID IT AGAIN! They added insanely great new features!

1. Shared Documents/Desktop among all machines! (is this working well?)
2. Unlock my mac via Watch? (is this cool?)
3. Shared clipboard between iOS and Mac? (sounds incredible, working?)
4. Apple Pay via TouchID with Phone? (anything?)

These four feature I am dying for! To the point where I don't care if it's buggy...

Sucks because 10.11.6 is so damn stable...

Please let me know how these features are feeling/working?

Thanks

I also am very excited for Sierra. I completely skipped over 10.11 because of how poorly it launched (IMO). They fixed a couple of the SMB bugs with network shares but I could just not get over how poor Disk Utility was redesigned. I've been using the public beta as my main workstation for work and I've had a very positive experience so far.

Now to answer your questions:

1. Yes. My other Mac's documents is accessible via iCloud. Very convenient.
2. I don't have an Apple Watch
3. I haven't loaded the iOS beta on my iPhone or iPad. Unlike my Mac, I really do need my phone to work and be stable and my iPad gets a ton of use.
4. Haven't used this feature yet.

1. Yep, works great
2. Once you have it working (can be a bit temperamental), it's pretty damn cool. The novelty hasn't worn off yet...still grin like a kid with a new toy every time I use it.
3. A little buggy, but once it's working it works well. This'll be tightened up before release.
4. I haven't seen any websites (including Apple's store) yet setup to work with Apple Pay. Even Apple's, you have to use their Apple Store app to use Apple Pay. They need to get this rolling soon so we can test it!
