I know.  My point was that they would have been stupid if they had not
at least *considered* the idea.  Let's say the goal is to be able to claim that
they've done a good job, and known vulnerabilities found per month is down
80%.  Then we have:

1) Actually fix the software. Total rewrite, $200M.
2) Bribe all the major reporters of bugs. $20M.

Which of these sounds like a better deal for Microsoft? ;)
