Mr. Guninski, although I am a huge fan of your work, I could not disagree more. I am sending this email from Redmond where I was invited by Microsoft to a small conference about security (it was mostly about what they go through when stuff is reported). "M$", as you call it, is not trying to get your 0days. They simply want to protect customers, and, although a large part about it is profits, the concern is mostly (as far as I know) about the users. Microsoft's biggest fear is wide-spread virus epidemics, so when a critical vulnerability is fully disclosed without prior notice to MSRC, Microsoft goes into an emergency state and everyone gets off of vacation early to come in and help resolve the issue (as was the case with my auto-sp2rc release in December, also called "Paul's Christmas" by MSRC employees). Microsoft knows that security researchers hang out on lists like fd a bugtraq, so what better place to eliminate t he common improper disclosing ignorance than to provide clear, concise instructions directly on the security hotspots?
