Subject: What's wrong with this picture?

 The fact that exploit code is made available after the patch is released,
is probably because the researchers
Made the vulnerability publicly available at same time as the patch was
released, otherwise MS wouldnt give
Credit to the researchers for the vuln.

"publicly available" exploits and 0-day exploits circulating in the
underground?
