SNORT!!!
"Researcher Moti Joseph (@gamepe) - formerly of Websense - speculated Microsoft had not applied fixes to Win 7 to save money."
"Saving money" - the ultimate smokescreen for "accidentally" leaving systems unpatched and open.
Of course, once a slew a "supposedly secure" WIn 7 machines get the claps, Microsoft will again have some explaining to do, may be getting a few lawsuits thrown their way (in particular as the legal landscape may shift in sudden and unontrolled manner) and will leave even more possibilities for competitors to gain traction with consumers looking for a way out of flea bag.
All of which could have been avoided by pumping a week worth of Office 2013 sales into bug fixing and testing.
It doesn't compute.
But well, it COULD be that Win 7 does not even need any patching... who knows?
