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.
