Broken before it starts! Not yet on the market and the first major fix
is ready.

This is not a Service Pack. It is just a handful of updates - and as I
recall, there were a hand full of updates for Windows 7 shortly after
release, as with Windows Vista and XP as well, so this just means they
are getting a bit better at delivering updates.

As to "broken before it starts", name a single modern OS that doesn't
release patches and fixes on a regular schedule, often shortly after
the OS is released.


But not often *before* it is released.


It's not really before it's released. Windows 8 was released on August
15. True, it isn't yet for sale, but it was released, not only to
manufacturers but also to those of us with MSDN or Technet
subscriptions. I have it here, and lots of others around the world
also do.
