200 days unacceptable
If it's going to take lots of coding and testing to get the patch out, allocate more resources (ie. programmers) to the task. Wasn't that what "Trustworthy Computing" was about?

And two more serious flaws that have been known for 5 months?

There's something seriously wrong with that..
