They search year-old slashdot forums for mention of vulnerabilities. When they find something, they pass on the information via a super-secret, super-secure, proprietary code (usually pig-latin) to the Microsoft Rapid Response Security Task Force: Patch Development Division (MRRSTFPDD). The MRRSTFPDD then spends two years designing a patch for the hole (which has long sense been addressed by third parties). Upon release it becomes apparent that the patch creates no fewer than three new vulnerabilities. This is inevitably mentioned in these forums, thus starting the process anew.
