As long as the functionality is there and basic improvements have been made, I'm not at all upset. I got my upgrade for free, and I'm enjoying several of the new features (especially multiple desktops, welcome to the 21st century Microsoft).
We've all released minimum viable products before. Hell, "early access" is dominating video games in particular. As long as they continue to improve and have a stable, steady release schedule with tangible results, then I think it was a good move on Microsoft's part. Especially since the longer they waited the more entrenched users of Windows 7 & 8 would become, just like they did with XP.
