Re: @ACx
@a_yank_lurker - There are a lot of factors used to determine the given value for "soon" at any moment for both source definitions.
Dealing strictly with Microsoft's "soon" here;
If it's a fix that will prevent a hacker from accessing your system then "soon" means between the first big media report and the next Windows release.
If it's a fix that allows you to actually use your own machine as you want to then "soon" means 'maybe we'll get to it after the next Windows release, but it'd be easier to just find third party workarounds.'
If it's a fix that effects Microsoft's revenue stream then "soon" means in the next patch rollout if we can actually fix the issue, we'll probably break a few things trying. Eggs - Omelettes. Windows users will understand.
