New Their responses?
and my impression of their response to security issues is of a grudging one.

Ho, ho, ho. Perhaps you formed this impression by the number of times they've gotten reports of a security problem, and then sat on it for an inordinate length of time until someone got tired of waiting for them to get off their duffs and publicized it? :-) Strange how quickly they seem to be able to develop, test, and deploy fixes after someone turns up the heat.

New Something like that.
Also how much prodding they need to even consider addressing security. Even now, they still refuse to properly fix the Macro virus problem, even after many experts have told them and the world at large what they need to do. Of course, the problem Microsoft (think they) face is that such measures would make Windows (slightly) harder to use for both J Random User and J Corporate User. Which, to Microsoft, is simply unacceptable.
