Google drops Microsoft in it with security flaw disclosure

@ 2016/11/03
Lets Apple off but makes Microsoft customers vulnerable

After allowing Apple six months to fix a critical zero-day flaw , it seems that the Google security team gave Microsoft just 10 days to fix something before going public.

Google today shared details about a security flaw in Windows, just 10 days after disclosing it to Microsoft on 21 October 21. Rather than being hauled over the carpet for its double standards, Microsoft is being portrayed in the press as the bad-guy for not fixing the fault. Google claims the critical Windows vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild so it knows that the disclosure is putting Vole's customers at risk
