Overall, you're right. Microsoft has been found guilty, in court, of breaking
quite a few laws. But here, in this specific case (as was implied), they
didn't do anything wrong. They released the advisory. They released the patch.
It doesn't excuse their business practices, or the original code flaws, but
writing bad code isn't illegal. Lame perhaps. But not illegal.
