Reward to Break the System
MS would be FAR WISER to offer a REWARD to people who could demostrate and CORRECT a vulnerability of its load of s/w. But they would do this if they REALLY cared about addressing the real problems in their code.

This is only an ostentatious move to just give a message to the global community that they are taking security seriously.

What a joke of a piece of s/w and of a company.
