Does this release support multiple iTunes libraries or is it still limited to one as in the first beta?

Multiple as before now.  Option key on start up as usual.

Not all 32-bit software is ancient. I use Lightroom 6 standalone and have no alternative lined up yet, certainly not the subscription.

That's odd, I have Catalina and LightRoom 5 is running just fine.

Coincidentally, I was just thinking about possibly getting a hold of a virtualization app.  I seem to recall VMWare Fusion being more highly rated a little while ago, is that still the case?

Not in my experience.  I used Fusion for several years before jumping over the Parallels with version 14.  I think Parallels runs far smoother.

Parallels' Russian connection is always at the back of my mind.  Articles such as this always make me feel a wee bit uncomfortable, especially these days: https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-a-digital-cold-war-with-russia-could-threaten-the-it-industry/

I agree with the article and my two cents about what Tim knows is coming are placed in the medical and transportation camps.  In a strange way, it is a form of insider trading except legal ... haha!

One thing for sure is that whatever Apple comes out with will be copied immediately by the likes of Google and Samsung and we will read it was 'obvious'.

Apple is investing in AAPL?    No, it is not investing in itself.   It is doing two things:

1). Giving away its profits to stock holders

2)  Propping up its own stock pice

I read a few days ago (I forget where) that in the last couple years Apple's Earnings Per Share have increased 25% -- on the SAME PROFIT.   That's all due to buybacks reducing the number of shares outstanding.

But, Apple is not alone in its Financial Engineering.   It seems most large U.S. companies are doing it.

So, while "we" complain about China competing unfairly against U.S. corporations, those same U.S. corporations are refusing to invest in themselves.

Perhaps China is not the problem?

I suspect Tim knows what he is doing.
