DAMN YOU! Microsoft blasts Google over zero-day blabgasm

If this were a vulnerability that allowed people to activate Windows without paying Microsoft:

a) There would no complaining that Google gave them only 90 days notice because there would be a patch ready to go within a week.

b) Nobody at Microsoft would be saying, "Well yes, the patch is ready but we really should wait until 'patch tuesday' to deploy it."

On the other hand, if this were a vulnerability whose disclosure would cost Chrome market share, I'll bet'cha Google could have found it within themselves to wait a couple of days longer.
