Back in around 1997/1999 ms credited (almost) anyone who bothered to disclose a 
bug - check their bulletins.
After then this changed. My explanation is that they realized there are *a lot* 
of bugs left and tried to pressure people who bothered to disclose bugs to them 
to keep hush until they fix the bugs.
