Microsoft Joins the OpenID Foundation

While the cynical me wonders how long it'll be before Microsoft transforms OpenID to something proprietary, they have undoubtedly put even more weight behind the OpenID initiative. So, how long before I can use my OpenID to post on Slashdot?" Patches are always welcome, wertigon ;)

    What exactly is it about OpenID that makes it something I would want to use? Everything I've seen about openid is chocked full of flaws that makes me wonder why any site admin would want to use it.
