A whole week? And that wasn't enough time to not only become aware of the news but also enough time to find everything that might give problems and solve those problems along with some serious testing?

To be fair, on MSDN the warnings came much earlier but not that many keep up with what's written there.

Also, feature rich and fast to market (quick and dirty) usually wins from security considerations. After all, if it's payed for why improve it without some form of compensation, right?

Surely, Microsoft can relate to that.
