Overall, you're right.  Microsoft has been found guilty, in court, of breaking quite a few laws.  But here, in this 
specific case (as was implied), they didn't do anything wrong.  They released the advisory.  They released the patch.

It doesn't excuse their business practices, or the original code flaws, but writing bad code isn't illegal.  Lame 
perhaps.  But not illegal.

Cheers,
