About a year ago, I tripped over this issue. (I have since found out it is a known bug - see http://www.sitepoint.com/print/1029). In an effort to help MS, I spent hours of company time registering to various bug reporting services on MS sites - and never found one that would accept my bug report because IE is not a paid product. Not that I wanted any support - I only wanted to help them out.How many semi serious issues exist where people just never bother to disclose them to the public and where the vendor decides to ignore the notification?
[snip]
I told MS about this back on 0ct 10 2002 and even sent them exploit code, never even got a response, not even a "sorry we don't consider it a threat" note.
[snip In some cases, people are threatened with lawsuits by companies, which is a great way of getting people on your side, and making friends. (sarcasm, by the way.) Vendors/Companies bring it upon themselves 99.9% of the time the way people act towards them. There are several companies I have no intention of ever talking to again. - andrewg _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
