Can someone post screenshots of TV, news, books, preview, notes, console, activity monitor, keychain access, automator, font book apps? I wanna see whether we have full-height sidebars or toolbars across the entire apps like they always have been.

can you now use stereo HomePods with airplay 2 as main audio output
Not sure, but AirPlay button is in menu now and I believe the system supports AirPlay 2. I just used my homepod with Safari on Big Sur and no more out of sync issues or audio cutting in and out. But mind you I am running HomePod 14 beta.
 
There is a new Battery system preferences pane and here are all the options that are supported on current MacBooks that can run Big Sur:

I just finished installing it on my 2018 MBP and noticed there is no way to get the battery percentage in the menu bar. What the heck?! I hope this is just a bug or oversight because if that is how it is in the final release that's disturbing.

Also, it re-enabled the boot chime automagically on my 2018. It's nice to have it back. (I tried enabling it before but after a software update it went away and I didn't bother re-enabling it).

Is it still possible to hide the toolbar and the sidebar in Finder, like the Classic Mac OS view? How do the Finder View preferences look? Can someone also show the File menu in Finder as well?

After selecting your language (on fresh install), you see the following window for the different settings for people with special needs (like blinded, deaf and speechless people). I think it's new right?
