MS hasn't fixed a thing. They just made a workaround for the teardrop (no bugs fixed). Now there's a new version of teardrop, that avoids the workaround that MS did (a workaround for the workaround:)... It's their way of fixing things: don't fix the wheel, just make sure it doesn't fall off right now.
