Passport to Nowhere

Posted by michael on from the where-did-you-want-to-go-yesterday dept.

prostoalex writes "CNET News.com.com talks about less than glamorous acceptance of Microsoft's single sign-on technology, .NET Passport. Being launched as a single sign-on service for online businesses and competing heavily with open Liberty Alliance project, which so far has produced just a large amount of PDF files, .NET Passport is considered a failure (although not by Microsoft). Turns out, high licensing fees, lack of simple implementation, security leaks and server downtime, were not acceptable to most of potential clients out there."

    Just what does Microsoft admit to as a failure?
    XENIX? OK I'll buy that....
