I'm still on Big Sur (macOS 11) and I need to figure out how to get a discrete install of our VPN software because that's what breaks after every major OS release until the VPN client is updated.

Stage Manager is a feature people have talked about the most. On my Mac I'm already fairly good using Spaces so not sure I'll move over. If this goes to iPad it might be more useful since iPad has poor multi-window support (or rather too many apps want full-screen and don't support half-window mode or popout window mode).

Continuity Camera is a bit weird since all Apple notebooks and displays have a FaceTime camera so you'd use it if you want an even better camera, especially for streaming I think since office Zoom calls don't require a high-end camera. The DeskView part is really quite clever. Wide angle must pick up a very skewed picture of your desktop but with AI it corrects it to look mostly normal.
