LOL. And more, who would do the audit? I've seen _far_ more audit 
reports that aren't worth shit than reports that come close to being 
reasonable. Maybe it would make better sense to require such companies 
to publisize their security incidents; enable the shareholders to draw 
their own conclusions. Not that it would change anything of course; 
MicroSoft security status being not particularly secret.
