Microsoft on Sunday criticized Google for disclosing a Windows 8.1 bug two 
days before it was scheduled to launch a fix.

Microsoft Security Response Center Director Chris Betz wrote in a blog post.

"[T]his is a time for security researchers and software companies to come 
together," he continued, "not stand divided over important protection 
strategies, such as the disclosure of vulnerabilities and the remediation of 
them."
