We have some great talking points listed for F24 Workstation. Is this list complete? If not, please add to the wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_24_talking_points
I'll be using this list to compile a "What's New in Fedora 24 Workstation" article for the Fedora Magazine, for publication on or about the GA release date. This is always a very popular article so I want to make sure it covers all the desired highlights.

Fedora Media Writer -- still indicates it will be the primary download option for Mac users; I think that's not working yet?
I want to plug the font improvements more. "Hinting has been tweaked" is quite an understatement; our fonts look much nicer than in F23, and that's worth giving greater prominence.

I think it's not the primary download for anything, not even Fedora or other Linux. But definitely is not primary for Windows or OS X yet.

I've seen this and is is a remarkable improvement. I'm hopeful that this automatically inherits even for updates (dnf or graphical).

Did the fonts themselves change, or did settings change? If so, what settings?

The font itself was upgraded, including letter forms and hinting iirc, as opposed to a settings tweak.

An immediate standout is that xdg-app has been renamed to flatpak. I will update the wiki later if noone else gets around to it by evening.
