I'd point to this thread from 10 days ago:

> I don't even think Windows 11 is all that different from a regular feature update similar to the ones that Windows 10 has been receiving for years now. It has the Windows 11 name because some large and obvious UI changes have been made.

So it is just a regular feature update except all the big and breaking changes. I feel like this is a point that defeats itself.

> only thing about Windows 11 that resembles Windows Vista are the vague complaints

I was specifically referring to Microsoft shipping an OS that didn't have enough time in the public test phase and thus shipped with bugs/quirks/issues. That could refer to both Vista and 11.

> If everything else was the same and this was a Windows 10 feature update instead of "Windows 11"

I'd instead be lambasting it for both its bugs/quirks/incompleteness AND how inappropriate it is to ship major breaking changes in a feature update.

To be honest the argument that Microsoft ships feature updates this bad is inaccurate but also quite funny as a "defense."

I think you've posted the wrong link by mistake. This one is just a bunch of people saying "it's not ready" and "who moved my cheese". What are the bugs?

EDIT: perhaps this would be more informative https://www.notebookcheck.net/Windows-11-is-now-widely-avail...
