Maybe M$ should put out a bounty for reporting bugs in their
crappy software without going public instead.  That might be

Yeah, right. People already *GIVE* microsoft information on
vulnerabilities found, and just they pretend it doesn't exist. Although,
if someone did actually talk them into paying for valid vulnerabilities,
I bet some accountant within their company would babysit their engineers
to ensure that billy's billions weren't spent for nothing. I doubt they
have ever patched their junk for a reason other than it being "bad PR"
not to.
