For some reason, I like this part:
The customer confusion and speculation around this issue is a clear
illustration of the challenges faced when security reports are made public
rather than reported to the vendor. Responsible researchers work with
vendors to ensure that the priority in dealing with security issues is first
and foremost the protection and safety of users. Had this been the priority
in this case, much of the confusion, speculation and anxiety that resulted
in this case could have been avoided.
<grin> :-)
In other words, tell M$ before letting your workers/clients and so forth
know! :-) To be fair, I do undertand their point, however did you notice
the shifting from although it *could* be a problem, to "how DARE you people
spread this around?" <g>
