well, aint that just typical. of course MS want people to dislcose these to them first. that way they can hide it from everyone else while taking their time preparing a fix. all while nobody knows any better.

they want it to work in a way where they release fixes before the problems are made public so it will look like they are the ones putting in all the hard work securing their software when in fact it is others.

it's better for everyone if it's made public first, that way MS have to get their a$$es into gear and prepare a fix quickly!!
