Windows may be breaking things for RSA Tokens that are expensive and expire in three years, but they are adding in much native support for smart cards that are much cheaper than RSA Tokens and do not expire in three years. US Department of Defense, US Federal Govt and big corporations like HP and Sun have adopted Smart Cards. I am not a MS fan, but re-architecting their login and vpn for native smart card support does not seem a bad idea. We should at least look into the economics of smart cards, they may save IT money in the long run.
