eBay pulls vulnerability auction

Online auction giant eBay shut down the bidding for a vulnerability in Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet program on Thursday, saying that the sale of flaw research violates the site's policy against encouraging illegal activity.

While I do agree with your comment to the acronyms like rotfl and so forth, the idea behind the post is to let these people that are blinded by MS that there are other products out there other than MS. Don't get me wrong, MS has changed the business world forever, they have provided solutions not only to business but also for schools, and homes, changing the lives of many people and making their lives a little easier. Yet I don't agree that a product that you pay 300 or 400 dollars for is to be as "full of holes" as theirs. To be precise I work with windows systems, that's what brings food to my table yet I am a linux person and until MS makes better software many people will be stuck with software that is full of holes, patches and that on the long run will end up costing them more to fix than if they had gone with Opensource software in the beggining.
