I'm proposing that security researchers act like professionals who care
about other people, not arrogant headline-seekers who only care about
fscking a company they don't like.

It's OK to hate Microsoft for a whole host of reasons ("their lawyers"
do it for me), but when you're OK with screwing their *users*, that says
a lot more about you than it does about Microsoft.

And you don't lose your technical creds by doing it responsibly.
