While I too am anxious to hear the outcome after Microsoft investigates the author still shared something they were interested in of which holds a value to the HN community as many of us love digging into a system and finding issues. This was the main purpose of the article.

Regardless the author may not know how critical Microsoft has classified this issue. It could be something they don't resolve for years. Since the Microsoft investigation and possible patch has no barring on the content of this article I wouldn't expect it to be held until such a time.

I'm sure we'll get a follow up on HN when or if it gets patched. Even better maybe posting this article helps get it fixed sooner :)
