You know that scene in Die Hard when Alan Rickman and crew finally gets the vault open? Remember how Fur Elise starts playing and the robbers see stacks and stacks of bearer bonds? This is totally like that.

Microsoft Opens IE Bug Database

Users will be able to report bugs found in the Web browser.

To post or view bugs, users must sign up for a Passport account on the Microsoft Connect Web site.

"Many customers have asked us about having a better way to enter IE bugs. It is asked, "Why don't you have Bugzilla like Firefox or other groups do?" said the Microsoft blog post.

Microsoft is only accepting bug posts for Internet Explorer 7 and future versions.

This is interesting. IE 7 is a 1.0 product in a 7.0 wrapper. There are going to be lots of bugs MS's QA department just didn't get to. More importantly, there will be more bugs than they can fix. There will be a backlog that is ripe for 0day.

This will make for interesting things in the Layer 7 world.
