Apple released its operating system (macOS Monterey) for Apple computers last fall. ITS has reviewed this operating system and is recommending that users upgrade. As always, please back-up all important data prior to upgrading and check for specific application compatibility.
Monterey Note for users:
For some apps you may see a Notifications popup with a crosshatch (prohibitory symbol) through the icon. This is a known issue and is generally cosmetic. Notifications for the app should still work as expected (they do for all the default apps we install).
