Default Re: Chrome vulnerability patched

Gee, if it had been Microsoft, they would have ...

Ignored if for three months.

Put out a statement it's a feature not a vulnerability.

Ignored if another four months.

Admitted they might have missed the bug. IF it were a bug.

Put out a patch a year later with a bug in the patch that deletes the hard drive of every 1% of the people using the patch.

Ignored the bug in the patch and put out a press release that everything is fixed.

Gotten word that not only was the patch buggy, but the vulnerability was only fixed in 4 out of 5 browsers.

Put out a press release saying the people deleted their own hard drives for inexplicable reasons.

Fixed the bug that deleted the hard drive but ignore the bug in the bug fix.

Put out a new 2.0 version of the browser with the same bug.

One month later release a bug fix for the 1.0 browser but not the same bug in the 2.0 one.

One month after that release a bug fix that finally fixes the bug in 2.0

One month later release 2.1 with the bug back in it.

Repeat from the top.
