It always amuses me that this is so common but Microsoft takes a heaping truckload of shit when they disclose a similar vulnerability.
You must be easily amused.
Microsoft never discloses a flaw until they have a (presumed) fix. As soon as a flaw is identified, it "goes black" and M$ publicly pretends it doesn't exist until they have a patch.
In the meanwhile, their clients are left to twist in the wind.
Linux's philosophy is the exact opposite. Like the old Chinese proverb, many hands make light work. Spreading the word enables more people to address the problem.
Since Linux is open-source it's possible for developers all over the world to work on the problem simultaneously. But M$ could never implement a similar plan because they would never abandon closed-source code.
Unequivocally false. If you have proof of this, I highly suggest you submit it to MITRE. The fact that you use dollar signs in your attempts to be cute tells me that you're not to be taken seriously. Microsoft's been in the upper-right Gartner quadrant for security for years, beating out Google, Amazon, and others.
