It does not matter. Who's gonna stop them adding a new backdoor in a later Windows Update(TM) ? T this point they are not to be trusted at all.

Microsoft doesn't need a back door, they can literally sign a new bootchain with the same certificate and install them on your computer.

This is a bug / vulnerability, not a back door.
