A lot of people have trouble understanding what .NET really is and what its goals are. Mostly because Microsoft has done a good job of confusing everybody using terms that are not self-explanatory or with terms that mean more that one thing. This editorial will present my thoughts on .NET, what it really is, what its motivations and goals are, and why it is the next "big thing." Should we embrace it or fear it? Both, I daresay.

for those that wonder how this could all work, just think of how DNS works at the moment, you have a couple of root servers that redirect the requests to secondary servers, which then process the requests and pass it down.
Similarly NetizenID could be located by a similar set of servers, with your final NetizenID pointing to the server of your choice. This way if one server get compromized not the entire planet's security info is, only the users on this server.
