Seems reasonable.
>> "On 11 January, Google publicised the flaw. Microsoft said it had requested that Google wait until it released a patch on 13 January."
Dick move. Sorry, I can't think of any other way to describe it. They may have waited until the last minute (or maybe they really did have to rewrite a tonne of code) but that's no excuse or putting users at risk when you can wait two days. Seems more like a marketing tactic than a desire for faster security patches.
