Sorry sounds like FSFE tooting their own horn on this one judging from your link and the profound use of propaganda statements. Hardly any average user will be concerned with this exploit in which will be fixed in their initial run of patches. Also there is a workaround for this issue which is fairly easy and is another part of administering servers and workstations:

Those mostly reading these blogs are more interested in Windows 7 based system performance then hearing about your FreeBSD. Try putting FreeBSD into a corporate network with 1000+ users, administer it, and dont get me started on training users on even basic use.....no sir, FreeBSD doesnt allow this and is why linux will NEVER be the choice of IT departments to disperse to large environments despite small security holes that GPO and other abilities can be put in place to protect the network and infastructure.
Now if you don't mind, we're discussing Win 7 performance, not linux vs Win vulnerabilities silly rabbit.
