IMHO releasing the exploit is ethical and legal.
The root of the problem is m$, they should take responsibility for the worms.
IIRC the m$ EULA states something like "the product is not fit for any purpose". 
So the exploit is consistent with the m$ EULA, I can't understand why you whine.
btw, Terry Pratchett has very good writings on IT EULA's and practices - check 
"Good Omens" and a disc world book mentioning a disorganizer.
