The whole point of developing a new operating system - or, well, a "refreshed" one in this case - is to be better than its predecessor. Windows 10 is "fine" too. It's doing what it is supposed too.

If that is to be used as an actual argument, then it *clearly* can also be used as a counter-argument: it is exactly what so many millions of people believe too, since they are not upgrading to Windows 11 even if it's offered to them for free. If Windows 10 is "fine" and Windows 11 does not bring anything of actual value to the table, why upgrade anyway?

Even if you are willing to put up with all the privacy, security, support etc. issues of Windows 11, one thing you *definitely* shouldn't be doing is be content with "fine". Microsoft delivered a half-baked OS three years back and it's fixing it ever since using consumers as beta testers. This will never be "fine" by me. Sorry.
