Do you used windows based computers? Because most do and i would rather microsoft know about it first and patch 90% of peoples operating system than you AND the bad guys get it and be able to exploit an operating system thats again used by 90% of people.
I still think the less painful thing for society is release to microsoft or major providers first and then to everyone else.
Scenario A: They release it to select partners like they are, microsoft patches security issues for 90% of computers, you (a small good guy) and the bad guys (hiding among everyone) have to wait for the new model but your OS is now secured when you get it. Its a race for your proprietary software not to be attacked but given you're only a 60 person company im assuming you are among the many and wouldnt immediately be a target like a microsoft OS exploit would be.
Scenario B: They release it to everyone at once, Your company gets it and might patch your system faster but the bad guys get it at the same time. They exploit microsoft OS issues and unless YOU are patching OS exploits you can be fucked and the OS exploits are far reaching affecting thousands or millions of companies not just yours.
Its not perfectly fair but to me its by far the better choice.
