microsoft to ebay, take it off or else.
ebay, ok.
So much for independents in the securities business. If microsoft wanted the info, buy it yourselves instead of locking the guy out. How much can we trust security firms when there's no real independent sources of confirmation. Microsoft wrote their crappy software, behave responsibly towards the effects of the flaws.
So much for ebay. Part of america's big monopoly. Security firms probably don't want the competition, it might drive up bugfinder income to something relevant.
