What buttholes

Wouldn't you think that they would fix the holes..........instead of putting a bounty up?

More proof that money talks and bullsh_t walks

Such a shame......

If they actually fixed it, it would amount to an admission that it's an inferior product--they're never going to do that. Instead, it's far more convenient to put a bounty on a "hacker" and focus the attention of the public on someone else. Microshaft, despite all their lip service to the contrary, doesn't care about security, just the $$$$, else it would have been fixed a long time ago.

It is a shame that the same rule doesn't apply to robbery and insurance. I can just imagine the dialogue that might occur should you try to use this tactic after having been burgled due to your leaving the door open when on holiday.
