Passport vs. Plan 9

Posted by michael on from the deus-ex-xml dept.

netphilter writes "LinuxWorld is carrying an article about how Apache and Plan 9 are going to defeat Microsoft's Passport. I hate Passport's integration with XP (although that might be because I hate XP). An Open Source single-sign on would be a real blessing. Will we ever get a good single sign-on solution?"

    Having 3 plans instead of one defeats the whole purpose of SINGLE sign on.
    What we should have, as with any other Internet succesfull strategy is a single standard and competing implementations. That way we are insured to have compatibility and the added benefit of market competition.

    Can we mod the article -1, Presumputous?

    Well, I think the real reason it was posted was:
    I hate Passport's integration with XP (although that might be because I hate XP). An Open Source single-sign on would be a real blessing.

    Anything anti-MS is a good /. story, right?
    An open source single sign-on won't solve the problem of a single sign-on.
    The reason people hate passport isn't because its written by MS. Why don't people understand that?

    Simple: Blind rage of MS.

    Tunnel Vision can happen at both ends of the tunnel.
