Ya, my comment was too brief. I was mostly reacting to the HN posters that basically were saying "Microsoft evil" by gently pointing out that other companies are leaving bugs in for longer than Microsoft. For example, someone posted "Other companies fix such bugs in days." Well, there are counterexamples, aren't there (OS X at the moment). I think what Microsoft is doing is really hard. I don't have insight into their process, having never worked there. So yes, we can speculate that they could do things much faster. But can they? I find it rather tasteless to just assume so with no evidence and to then go on and call them names. I dunno, maybe they are falling flat on their faces internally, or maybe the team is performing heroics at the cost of personal lives, or maybe it is just business as usual. But, it was also an honest question. Maybe there is evidence out there that Microsoft is just failing, and I haven't seen it or my reading comprehension failed me and I saw it but didn't register it. But mostly, I am tired of the hurl accusations and drag people&companies through the mud meme that happens here, and this seemed to be more of the same (again, open to evidence, not claims, to the contrary).
