Story: Microsoft U-turn as WMF patch released early

M$ should be charged with criminal negligence for not issuing patches for ALL of their OS's ..I love how this flaw in their code affects all M$ platforms but when taking care of their customers..yes Mr Gates I paid for a version of your OS and now even though you claim to have extended support for me and my fellow users you abandon us (why would I even consider buying another of your crappy swiss cheese like Operating systems in the future if this is the way you treat your users?? Apple will be getting my cash from here on out).

You can't whitewash the fact that this is a CRITICAL VUNERABILITY for ALL M$ Products .. to quote your site: "Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), and Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (ME) were previously listed as affected, but are no longer listed. Why is that?
Although Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition do contain the affected component, at this point in the investigation, an exploitable attack vector has not been identified that would yield a Critical severity rating for these versions. Per the support life cycle of these versions, only vulnerabilities of Critical severity would receive security updates."
