You mean the...

root password showing in an installer log? Fixed within a few hours of the discovery with no exploits, AND the fix did not mess with any media players, like those Microsoft patches that screwed up WMP.

ZDNet could have mentioned it like they did with the GPG vulnerability(also fixed on the same day with no exploits), but why talk about a vulnerability if it no longer exists before there's a successful attack? It's a moot subject.

PS - Linux users like me don't complain that MS delays OS releases(it's expected anyhow ), but their release cycles are just too slow, as I'm sure even you can agree.
