Microsoft announced its first formal bug bounty program for Windows 8.1 Preview and an associated short-term program for Internet Explorer 11 Preview, offering up to $150,000 for novel exploitation techniques and $50,000 for accompanying defensive strategies (and up to $11,000 for IE11 Preview critical bugs); the program targets early research submissions but excludes legacy products such as Windows 7 and Vista.
