Im conflicted on this whole thing. While I think MS doesnt pay enough attention to security, they can't be blamed for holes. No software is perfect, and that's the truth. Now, if they're going to prove MS purposely put bugs in Windows, thats a different story.
If these guys win, I fear for all of the volunteer developers who will be forced to stop. Would you program for free if you could get sued for it?
