Microsoft is launching a slew of initiatives to help Web sites identify visitors. First, the company is kicking off four open-source projects to support the development of ID cards for online users. Microsoft is also releasing one of its identity management specs, Identity Selector Interoperability Profile, under its OSP, meaning the specification is clear of licensing fees or patent worries.

I find it interesting that they announced they would support OpenID months back, yet haven't produced anything so far but PR.
... and as time goes on, still nothing.
I'm to understand they might be adding support to .Net, but you'd know all about that, wouldn't you Miguel ?
It'd help if they officially joined the OpenID mailing lists and contributed, but they wont.

Why not supporting OpenID? Why do we need so many different ID systems? If Microsoft chooses an open system, then OpenID could be an alternative.
