You gave an excellent answer to the question I didn't ask. I don't need to be told why MSFT is unhappy. I want to know why Robert Hansen is upset enough at Google's practices that he wants full disclosure used against them.

Things to know about Robert Hanson:

* He's a web guy (a very, very good web guy)

* He's had issues with G in the past

* He's doubtless reported things to G in the past

* Tavis is operating in an entirely different universe from him (one in which "lock.cmpxchg8b.com" is clever, not sketchy).

Don't read too much into this.

That's what I wanted to know more about. Do you have links where he discusses what he doesn't like about Google?

At this point in the conversation I think you should just ask him. He's a good guy.

I posted a reply on his blog asking him the question. It is currently awaiting moderation.
