I've been running the Mac version without any hiccups on a MacBook Pro with macOS High Sierra. I have seen some reports from Windows users that they are getting error messages. I don't know how widespread that is. But if you use Windows and are on a mission critical assignment, I might wait a day or so to see what the issues may or may not be.
