People have probably been sitting on exploits for months or longer. There will probably be another wave after the 1 year extended support ends.
If I remember correctly, MS still pushed some critical patches to Win7 after the support ended as they realized 1/3 of world's computers turning into botnets is probably not in their interests.
Wow, that's hilarious.
