The Liberty Alliance Grows Again

Posted by Hemos on from the now-if-they-would-just-do-something dept.

sempf writes "The Liberty Alliance, a Sun-backed open-specification alternative to the Microsoft platform's Passport system, has added two very powerful members, Oracle and Intel. Now over 150 members, one wonders at the future of a world where we have two single sign-on systems. With the three big IM platforms joining forces, is the identity standard of the world going to be Microsoft, or Sun? Is this going to be the next Browser War?"

    To everyone here doing their favorite pasttime, bashing Microsoft, do you really think your information will be so much safer with Sun or Apple? Don't be so naive. Eggs in one basket, especially as it pertains to computers and networking (both with terrible records on security) is a bad thing.
