    Downgrade to Sierra on MB Pro that shipped with High Sierra

    We bought a MacBook Pro 2017 that shipped with Sierra 10.12. Two month later bought two more MacBook Pros 2017 that shipped with High Sierra. I have a bootable USB of Sierra. Will I be able to install it on the MacBooks that shipped with High Sierra?

    Hopefully I'm not breaking NDA here, but the Xcode 8 beta is being distributed as a "xip" file. Was this mentioned anywhere today? Or has this file format been around for a while, and I just missed it somehow? Interestingly, the 10.11 Archive Utility.app already knows about this file type...
