There were a bunch of rants this weekend. China found two "undocumented" exploits in XP and published the code. The MS faithful were ranting that the Chinese should have discretely advised M$ and not made such a big overt fuss!

It was haliarious. Those flaws are there for a reason (me thinks) and if the Chines got the juevos and brain to find em - why not share it with us muggles (and brag at the same time:)
