I'm sure there's a lot that goes into fixing these, but Adobe surprised many in the security community with their fast and responsible reaction to the zero-day flaws unveiled by the Hacking Team leaks.

Microsoft has the resources to fix these; I'm not sure what their excuse is (and it may be valid), but vulnerabilities like this should take highest priority.

I agree, and have to assume the time to fix is back testing and checking with big vendors/users if the fix inadvertently breaks something they were relying on. At this point how many windows bugs are now features set in stone and must be carried on in perpetuity because so much software has been built around the buggy behavior?

Lots, but RCE is never a feature that will be set in stone.
