This is just dodge- a dodge so they don't get ridiculed again for releasing insecure software. Vista is probably still in beta mode (heck probably epsilon mode lol) and they are inviting the hackers to hack it, so they can see how it got hacked and then revise it, before releasing it.
Actually it's kinda a good idea, but it seems a dodge as Microsoft are being so smarmy about it.
Microsoft to hackers: Take your best shot

QUOTEWhat I wonder though, is what is stopping these so called "security" experts from saying, "Nope, everything is fine..!" And then waiting for them to release it so they can hold some corporation hostage, LoL...
That's kinda like that joke in the joke thread about the deaf guy that was hired by the mafia...if ya haven't read it you should!
