X-Box Flaw: MS Won't Use DMCA

80bower writes "Looks like Microsoft is going to allow an MIT student to display security flaws in the XBOX and won't use the DMCA to stop him. Read about it at EFF via Politech." Microsoft deserves kudos for this. But it is a sad state of affairs when people deserve kudos for NOT doing things.

    i nearly fell of my chair when I first saw the Visual Studio.net ads on slashdot, but this, this is just crazy. Why do they deserve kudos for demonstrating security vulnerabilities to a standalone. They still suck where it counts, who cares if they help where it doesn't matter. MS sucks, and I doubt they'll earn anyone's respect through one small act.
