'It's your fault. Yeah you, Mr. or Ms. Corporate IT Person. Microsoft says it's your fault, and the fault of your users, that there are so many security problems with Microsoft software. Oh, sure, there are security holes in Microsoft products. But Microsoft does patch them -- eventually. And unless corporate IT does a better job of promptly applying those patches, as well as training users in safe computing practices -- well, there's only so much Microsoft can do.
Yes, at Microsoft irony is dead. And so, apparently, is shame.'

What made this even funnier was that there was only a 2 week period between the patch being released and when the exploit comming out..
That means that sysadmins had two weeks to ensure that the patch didn't break any functionality or compromise stability and roll it out onto all their machines, which often number in the thousands..
Considering MS's practise to release patches that break something.. they can hardly expect people to patch that quickly.
