It appears as though this discussion suffers from several major problems: 1) A lack of understanding the concept that Microsoft is a corporation, and like most businesses (including yours if you have one), they are driven by the bottom line - profit. If you don't like this, then you will have to change the global economic framework and basic accounting principles for business continuity. 2) Positive actions yield positive results. Walk your talk, and take action if you want to see change in the industry. 3) Don't neglect the fact that other corporations profit from Microsoft's security problems. Maybe even yours? The trouble will be, finding a balance. :) Anyway, my point is that you have to look at the big picture; rather than just trashing Microsoft for trying to work with the infosec community. ...D _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
