MS always does this. Windows XP had three or four major updates (service packs). Mac OS X is on v10.8 (i.e. they've updated version 10 8 times). Do you expect them to release it and never release another version of Windows?

Windows service packs were free updates, OSX dot versions are paid.and usually.change everything...

I know, I was making the point that all software gets updated regardless if it's good or bad.

MS had planned to make the update before Win 8 was released

It's not at all unusual for awesome, successful software to be updated.

Not contradicting your point, but such updates would likely tend not to be in great demand.
