Kim–with all due respect and love that you deserve–I didn’t miss the point. I nailed it. Passport was never–at least not until now–billed as an experiment. Passport was positioned as the future of Identity infrastructure. This so frightened the industry that a hasty alternative was financed and brought to life–behold–the Liberty Alliance.
Proposing infrastructure that is as important as Identity–without a sub-agenda–is what I think you are doing. Or at least exploring. Infrastructure that would work without the presence of Windows. This is important. It’s out of character for Micrsosoft. While I trust you explicitly because of who I know you to be, the rest of the world has been burned by such promises before. It will be tough to pull off and gloriously surprising if you can. Go for it. I’m with you.
