What they’re saying is that, in the eyes of the user (which many here are), Microsoft did not deliver the MVP. Maybe the MVP minus the task bar but not the MVP. MVP needs to hit the right marks to be considered “viable”.

For reference, I’m a product manager and develop MVPs and iterate on them. When a bunch of users aren’t happy with the MVP, it means I missed something. Because Microsoft added the taskbar in pretty quickly after release of 11, it looks like they also realized they should have had it for launch.
