Wallpapers, emojis and all the other fluff are of zero interest, its just bloatware.
I have not upgraded from Monterey because of the butchered UI for system prefs etc.

Meantime at work we are dumping Macs because PCs with VDI solutions are a MUCH better and more cost effective solution. We have one lab that started out when the 512KE came out and had been Macs ever since... but no more.

My computer is a tool, the more crapware/bloatware Apple adds, the less of a useful tool it becomes.
 
These wallpapers are not new. It was part of last PUBLIC beta release. There are still some differences beta dev and public beta profiles
 
Ok this is seriously cool. It’s sad that screensavers have slowly faded into obscurity. Love to see Apple making them relevant again. And frankly you can’t get better than their earth videos.
 
Now I know where my money is going. Must of been some devs they didn't want to layoff so they gave them something to do. Oh and the rounded corners thing too and thousands of emojis Whoopi.

Those extra 100 were added in the previous beta. It was only in this beta that it now asks you what wallpaper you want when setting up. Btw if you download all it takes up about 60gb+

You forget they are optional.
 
Everyone’s complaining about storage space. They download individually as you click on them to make them your wallpaper. If you select your own photo, then no video wallpapers download. It’s not like hundreds of videos are all being loaded on your device. And frankly, I really enjoy them.
