But But But, I thought Micorsoft was commited to security

Apparently not. These clowns at Microsoft need to learn something quick.
1. Words have meaning
2. The customer has a longer memory than they think
3. Al be it slowly, MS is losing their grip on the OS market.

and finally Microsoft needs to get a grip and reality, their OS stinks and advertising this break will probably result in a concertyed efforts to attack Windows (again). Wanna bet that this time next month there will be a flurry of patches and fixes (again).

Below is their (Microsofts) own words of commitment. I have my own words for them, "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me," and in the words of Roger Daltry, "We won't get fooled again."
