Most importantly it tells MS "fix your shit when your users are being attacked". Seven days ago was a Monday. That means they had a full week and a weekend to fix this. I understand that big bureaucratic organizations move slowly, and that the fix isn't trivial, but this is really the kind of thing for which they should have "scramble the jets and fix it" processes in place if they care about their user's security.
When there are known exploits attacks against users, giving a short time to get out quick patches to trusted software vendors makes a lot of sense, but I don't see a good reason for giving more than 24-48 hours before public disclosure.
