Overall, they have improved, there's no doubt about that. But unless they move faster on some of these high-impact vulnerabilities, we'll always deal with rogue researchers finding the same things,

As far as we know, this update does not address our issues.

It is the skeleton in Microsoft's closet. We routinely find them.

This month, Microsoft is only issuing one patch and we already know it's not one of ours. That means that our overdue list will keep getting longer and longer,

There are some extremely smart hackers out there using and sharing the tools that find these vulnerabilities. When Microsoft takes a long time to issue fixes, it sets up a dangerous situation,

It's safe to assume that once we find a flaw, someone else will probably find it. The problem here is that someone malicious might find it and exploit it before Microsoft can provide full protection.
