Will you be releasing this authentication scheme for use with all competing platforms INCLUDING Open Source. If their answer is No then consider this a move to block compeitors from being able to work seamlessly with the upcoming range of Microsoft products. http://www.identityinitiative.com/modules/wordpress/index.php?p=5#comments 2005-03-16T15:52:43 5:5@http://www.identityinitiative.com/modules/wordpress/index.php I bet Microsoft will release certain aspects as part of the development tools. The real trouble lays in the \"gatekeeper\” side more than the implementation. The sheer bulk of the MS user base could make Microsoft the arbirter of which authentication devices are deployed. http://www.identityinitiative.com/modules/wordpress/index.php?p=5#comments 2005-03-16T22:55:59 7:5@http://www.identityinitiative.com/modules/wordpress/index.php Hm. I can\’t spot much flaming or whining. Except in the comment above ofcourse hehe http://www.identityinitiative.com/modules/wordpress/index.php?p=5#comments 2005-03-29T20:14:54 10:5@http://www.identityinitiative.com/modules/wordpress/index.php Let\’s hope that this is not just another M$ scheme to try to take over the world. It would be nice to think that their motives really are in the best interest of the users and not the stock holders. We will see if this are proprietary elements in their use of open standards like X.509.
