Catalina runs smooth and the notices it gives make a lot of sense. So far, I’m impressed.
But, I prefer to buy my apps once instead of subscribing to them. I don’t like Microsoft one bit for their tactic.
I do a LOT of work on the computer, so its system is important to me. This is a good step in the right direction.
You can buy Microsoft apps as standalone, non-subscription apps. I’m using Excel and Publisher 2000 (Office 2000 standalone apps) no problem under Windows 10 compatibility mode. Apple can’t beat that value.
