Well, I hate to be fair to Microsoft, but how would you go about warning
_all_ users of your product? They presumably have special support
contracts with the aforementioned largest providers, so they can contact
them proactively. They've already released a security advisory about it,
which is the only thing they usually do for security problems - any M$
product user who is interested in security matters would already have seen
it.
