Insufficient testing for breaking end-user configurations is an entirely different issue. Your claim was that "they find the root of the problem", and that doing this adds time to get the patch out the door. My point is that if they in fact were doing that, we'd not see so many "It still works if you put a \ in front of the semicolon" type reports - an indication that the released patch is not in fact fixing the basic problem. (To be fair to Microsoft - sometimes the "basic problem" is a basic conceptual design flaw that can't be fixed in a clean compatible way, and you end up just papering over the known holes and pushing a "real" fix off to "the next release")
