So what would force Microsoft to patch these holes if exploits are not published?

And these companies will make all this money from bugs that M$ will tell them about in advance, right?
So, if these bugs are known by these people first, and they're all in a "coalition" doesn't that make M$ liable for its crap? The members won't make squat, because M$ will turn its back on them, the same it turns its back on intelligent, educated consumers of its paid-for-alpha software releases.
