  1. how on earth did Microsoft do this, and not face any meaningful consequence?

    i mean all software has bugs, sure. but if you are selling high-consequence software, when you are notified of security issues, you address them. is there no criminal liability in selling a product for money when you know it to be extraordinarily dangerous to your customers, making no good faith attempt to mitigate the risk?
