Based on what?
The NSA likely gave MS months of lead once they determined what SB stole. A patch was pushed out before the release of the vulns.
There's no reason to suspect that people wouldn't have reverse engineered the vuln from the patch and had similar timelines of unpatched systems being exposed.
In fact, we see exactly that play out over and over with security patches.
