One could also say that Microsoft is being very proactive in improving
its product.

You could - but you'd have to be looking at things from a very odd angle
to construe it as anything but a part-ready product rushed out before it
was ready, and needing to be patched to make it usable. I've used it,
and it certainly isn't ready.

Your response to the update strikes me as radically uncalled for - and I
don't even like Windows 8...

Why? It's an obvious and logical response to the facts.

The facts as construed by you...

As for its being a product rushed out before it was ready, it hasn't
been released - had you noticed?
