Microsoft was actually asking for 92 days to fix the bug, not 2 days...

  And Google gave them a 90 day deadline. Doesn't seem right not to extend it by only two days, especially if there was a holiday period in between.

    Who is Google to dictate to Microsoft when to release their patches?

      They're the ones doing the work of finding these vulnerabilities and being nice enough to report this to Microsoft (and the public) at all.

  Google gave them 90 days (by Google's policy). Microsoft had the fix, but asked for another 2 days in order to fit within their patching cycle. Google decided to take action outside of Microsoft's (well established) patch cycle. Then again what does Google care, they don't use or support anything Microsoft, so it doesn't affect them.

    Chrome runs on Windows. As does Google Earth, Google Drive, the android development toolchain, and a handful of other desktop clients that I'm not going to bother to look up right now.
