That sounds a bit weird... That is how I understand it. Microsoft requires a Premier Support agreement in order to request hotfixes and I am not a party on any such agreement. So, I worked with former colleagues at another company that does have a Premier support agreement and that I knew were also experiencing the issue. They only requested a hotfix for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 2008 R2 as those are the only Windows releases they were concerned about having a fix for. The result: it is fixed in currently shipping versions and a hotfix is available for those specific releases, but other releases remain vulnerable. Addressing those releases will presumably require someone with access to a Premier Support agreement to request additional hotfix releases.
