Well, as you know I'm no M$ supporter or booster, but stop and think about it for a minute. The flaw is deep in the NT kernel, and it apparently wasn't a five-minute job to repair it. If the knowledge of the hole in M$ security was widely advertised, hackers would have had six months in which to generate attacks and cause grief to lots of people. As things stand, people were no worse off, and in fact were probably safer.

For once, after doing the inevitable wrong thing by writing rubbish code, I think they took the right approach to fixing it. If, of course, they have. Fixed it, I mean.
