I think the writer's intention is good to make Microsoft known about the importance of security computing. But this punishment is too heavy. He definitely did a big harm to the community but look, he didn't erase anyone's files and alteration to any user data! It wasn't intended to be destructive and this means he is not carrying a bad motive. His "feedback action" was made unintentionally destructive but I think is of good faith. Microsoft since then looked into security more seriously, didn't they? Microsoft is doing their best job too (many people may oppose to this but please save it, no software is perfect and see which application has no bug and coming out in Version 1 that is perfect? Most application software were updated weekly!!!)!
I really think the punishment is too heavy for this guy. Punishment needed but not that.
