The post identified a problem in Windows locking behavior, and showed the process that was used to reach the conclusion.

Your comment on the other hand tells us more about you than about the person you are criticizing.

Then why are you commenting? Kind of a crappy attitude you have there.

not really, I was kinda expecting the post would also contain interactions with Microsoft, leading to the resolution of the bug in update XX. The post kinda left me unsatisfied.

While I too am anxious to hear the outcome after Microsoft investigates the author still shared something they were interested in of which holds a value to the HN community as many of us love digging into a system and finding issues. This was the main purpose of the article.

Regardless the author may not know how critical Microsoft has classified this issue. It could be something they don't resolve for years. Since the Microsoft investigation and possible patch has no barring on the content of this article I wouldn't expect it to be held until such a time.

I'm sure we'll get a follow up on HN when or if it gets patched. Even better maybe posting this article helps get it fixed sooner :)

You can fix those problems by writing a post that would contain said interactions, resolution and update.

Sure, and you're entitled to feel that way, but that doesn't make his attitude any less crappy.

Microsoft aren't great at resolving reported bugs even if you pay them for it.
