First Look: macOS Monterey Public Beta

What I believe Apple are heading towards: iOS on Macs, but with window management, external monitor support, etc. so that it’s hardly a different user experience from MacOS, but with the security of iOS. The ‘big’ apps will still work as they do on MacOS (not as cut down iOS versions). There will still be a shell - though it might work in a VM / container.

What I want on my desktop: exactly that.

What's the point of a shell though if it's restricted to a container? I use the shell mainly to poke around inside the OS to change things Apple doesn't make fancy on/off switches for :)

I don’t know if that’s the kind of mechanism they would use, as I don’t know if it actually helps with security compared to the sandboxing already applied to apps.
