Eight years of not patching this bug! Ha! Take that, dumb Linux hippies, here is proof that Windows security is better!

As long as the bug went undiscovered by the bad guys I'm OK with it. Oh, if it had been exploited by the bad guys it would have been found and fixed by the good guys pretty soon after the exploits emerged.

Yeah. I love how Windows fanbois are always comparing the user exploits occasionally found on Linux to the remote exploits routinely found on Windows. But I guess expecting them to understand the difference is just asking too much.
