And I'm writing a free security auditing tool, and I won't be able to implement a security check for this, because I'm not a "vendor" ?

I have an idea. To counter this information witholding problem, non-vendor individuals who find security problems should have mailing lists that only non-vendor individuals are on. Yeah, sure the information will eventually leak out but it will take much longer for the problems to be fixed by the vendors. Of course Microsoft and members of their selected consortia would be forbidden to join the list. Does this seem like a good idea? Well personally I think it is crazy but it is exactly what Microsoft is asking individual security contributers and practitioners to accept, albeit shoe on other foot. -weld
