Not true
"Everytime there is a *BIG* Microsoft flaw it is reported in this way...Time after time they report about a Mozilla flaw and there is no patch for it."

That's not true. There have been plenty of stories over the past couple of years about Microsoft complaining about flaws being "outed" before MS had a chance to address them). And, there have been plenty of stories about F/OSS flaws being reported, only to have the fixes already available.

I've seen no such trend in reporting as you're describing.
