Bug Hunters
I believe that the people that report theses "Bugs/holes" to the open Internet are just as responsible as MS.

I go on vacation and forget to lock my door, no one knows about it but someone comes to my house and finds it open, he doesn't go in but tells some other people that the house isn't locked. So i get robbed, these people are doing the same thing, finding holes and telling everyone about them.

Now if these people go to MS and they don't fix the bugs as fast as theses people like, or acknowledge the bug, so they say hmmm i will fix you, i will tell everyone about it and if a virus writer takes advantage of it they say oh well we warmed them. Thats a bunch of BS. Make a security commission or something, bug finders can report them to the commission and MS, If MS doesn't fix the problem in a reasonable amount of time Then Fine them big time.

What people are doing now isn't working, and alot of Innocent people and business are paying the penalty because some bug hunter had his feeling hurt
