While there is some argument about what makes a vendor un-responsive,
 patch
times in this case are, likely and understandably, quite lengthy.  These
fixes are not trivial to begin with, thanks in no small part to the
incredible number of customers Microsoft has.  As if the literally millions
of configurations Microsoft software must support weren't enough, think
for
a second about the multiple different character sets its code applies
to.
Even the *DOCUMENTATION* for the patch must be translated into dozens
of
different languages -- no small task with exploitation looming on the
horizon.  However, it is obvious that in this case, the reporter did
not
attempt any contact with Microsoft what-so-ever.

This is not my problem. I DON'T CARE!

That's your company and you do with it as you see fit. Whether you want
to make 1 million versions of your product in order to grab every possible
market share, so be it.

You'd better be damn sure that what you make works otherwise if you throw
it out there and it breaks, some one has to pay.

Why not make one quality product instead of hundreds of flawed ones?

That's right! It's your company and you do with it as you see fit!
