What's Google afraid of?
It's clear Google is afraid of something, because these aggressive and nonsensical behaviours usually hide something deeper. Especially in this case when they were notified the patch was available and would have been released in the upcoming monthly update cycle. Now Google wants also to force how other companies should manage their planned updates? Or takes pleasure to disclose others vulnerabilities for stupid PR reasons? This bully approach hides something, Google wants to hurt MS as much as it can, and it's a behaviour clearly dictated by fear of something.
This is a risky behaviour - if a "disclosure battle" starts, users will be caught in the middle. And we have already see how much old bad code still exists in *any* OS, written in the old days when security was not so important or simply because the developer was not skilled enough.
Meanwhile my Lumia 620 got the latest update, while my Samsung Galaxy isn't receiving any updated and is blocked in some old Android release. Maybe Google should start to make available fixes for its own OS first? It's too easy to put the blame just on handset makers... you're the OS supplier, you must make fixes available.
Now waiting for googledroids to downvote... three...two...one....
