    All:
    
    Don't waste your time helping Microsoft with this new marketing ploy.
    
    Based on the article in Security Focus http://www.securityfocus.com/news/191
    their system is more secure because they have a dedicated, trained, full
    time and paid person doing the security review. "administrators are better
    off spending their time reading log files and installing patches"
    
    So unless you are paid by Microsoft, wait until the product ships then show
    them the security holes.

    Nahh.  When they open-source it I'll help with bug fixing.  Until then,
    it's up to them.
