Synchronised messages across devices, when you delete a message on one device it is gone everywhere. Which is good news for philanderers everywhere!
thx. still holding out for one day Apple allowing you to read/compose iMessages from iCloud.com... sure that's just a dream though.
I can confirm that type to siri is included with High Sierra.
It's in the accessibility section of system preferences.

Can anyone confirm if "About Finder" still says "The Macintosh Desktop Experience"? That's the only remaining trace of the word "Macintosh" found in the OS. All other references to "Macintosh" has long since then been renamed to "Mac".
Thanks! I love it because it shows respect towards Apple's original heritage to the old classic Macintosh, which made Apple what it is today. "Mac", while fine in most instances, kind of neglects the original Macintosh and comes across as a bit lazy (kind of like iOS... very simple and no effort shown), so when I see Apple referencing the word in its entirety, it makes me smile. Unfortunately, usage of the full word is becoming more and more scant these days, with the reference to Macintosh being whittled down to only one place in macOS now. That's why I hope Apple won't rename it to "The Mac Desktop Experience." It just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Disclaimer: Yes, I know it's just a word. This is purely my opinion

Opinions, and such connections are what brought this company to where it is today. Without connecting to people this way, it would have never been what it is today. They showed and made love to what they did. And people love that. Passion incites passion.
So while it is "just your opinion" it was an opinion that Apple once strove for you to have.
They were talking about HVEC and new JPEG format for Photos? Can someone confirm if their Photos Library has shrunk significantly now?
Yes when running for example Photoshop or FCPX. It can use both GPUs for OpenCL apparently!
Since iTunes uses the same playback engine as quicktime, does this mean we can add flac files to our iTunes libraries as well?
Shutdown is much faster by far than previously for me - it takes about 2-3 seconds comparing to 10-15 seconds.

For faster shutdown, we (for now) got 3x longer startup times

) Funny but true - however startup for me is just a touch longer - not that bad
It seems (at least what I can see in those pictures) that the colors „shining“ through the dock are not as vivid as they currently are, which I like.

For me startup time used to be 7 seconds, now it takes 20 seconds (fresh installation). But i think the reason is the new file system and this bug won’t be present in the final release
Well on my iMac mid 2011 situation is a little different.
Startup is the same, shutdown takes longer, but the whole OS moves very smooth compared to my rMBP.
Things will change for sure in the upcoming DPs, and I hope we will get to see the next one soon enough.
If I remember correctly - they usually came with an approx. 2-3 weeks frequency.
That won't happen. People would go crazy if Apple automatically converted their library from one compressed format to another compressed format. It wouldn't make any sense, as you would loose soooo much information.
This is somehow awkward. On slower/older systems, High Sierra runs better compared to Sierra, and on faster/newer systems, it runs worse than Sierra.

Yep - pretty Odd - however the iMac has discrete GPU so I assume that helps a lot and it drives a much lower resolution screen - even though there is no metal support.
Quick Update - Clean My Mac 3 has updated their app so I ran a quick cleanup and some maintenance tasks and boot time has definitely improved for me!
I know people hate CleanMyMac but I find it quite useful many times.
