    Nice to see that in nasty, rights-restricting, socialist pinko Europe we can have laws that protect the rights of the individual.

    Also covered by the Beeb, which goes on to comment:

    The strictures that apply to Microsoft will also affect the Liberty Alliance identity system set up to provide an alternative to Passport.
