Another point which hasn't yet gotten much attention is the valuable role Wikileaks played as an early working system. Without Wikileaks it is likely that Microsoft wouldn't have had the chance to release a patch ahead of any attacks.

The exploit was released in April. Microsoft patched it in March. How did Wikileaks play any role in the problem getting fixed?
