Does anyone really think MS doesn't know security through obscurity doesn't work? They know it, but this is probably one of the finest poker hands I've ever seen.

MS has some very big companies on their side. They know that they will drive the exploit makers underground. Once they're underground, MS can point their finger into the cave and proclaim them as the reason MS software is bad. They've just written themselves off on the liability issue. Very clever actually.
