I'm not saying they shouldn't be disclosing that the patch is critical, I said that in the case of ancient bugs affecting all versions of Windows they should release all patches at the same time.
- hermitdev 9y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what they did? Didn't they do it on the usual patch Tuesday? I don't have any old versions of Windows installed, so I truly don't know how it rolled out there.
- qb45 9y agoWow, that's an old post. For currently supported versions I believe they released all patches at the same time, but XP was a problem because users without extended support contracts were left vulnerable which facilitated spread of WannaCry until they pushed updates to everyone. It's Microsoft's policy not to release fixes for unsupported versions to the public (this was an exception) and it leads to this kind of problems.
