The only thing you could argue about is why MS made the CardSpace client platform centric. To my knowledge there is no way to run MS CardSpace client on Win XP.

[...] Dale Olds is surprised. It seems mean to leave him in this state, though it seems somewhat ironic that an open source project should be choosing a thoroughly closed phone as a prize. So closed you can’t even install closed source add-ons. I’d rather have an N95, to be honest. [...]

I’ve got to agree with Eric, the “consumers of note” (sounds like a band, doesn’t it?) refers to RP’s not users. It’s RPs that “consume” identity data, not the entity being identified…

But Ben does get it wrong when he claims Microsoft as the IdP. It could be, of course, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be.

PS I tried to login with my OpenID(s) – they kept getting rejected with a redirect to an unkown page…

I also commented on this post here: http://www.mwdadvisors.com/blog/2007/09/rethinking-it-projects-think-service.html, primarily from the perspective of the Passport/Hailstorm versus Cardspace. I agree completely with your comments re Bandit/Higgins (not least because I logged into this site using DigitalMe on MacOS X

I really think Ben means relying parties when he uses the phrase “consumers of note”. He’s British, so we might need to cut him some slack

As for Microsoft having control of user’s identity information, he might be talking about user’s perception instead of reality. E.g. CardSpace is a Microsoft product; ergo, CardSpace is Passport with icons. The folks best able to correct that misinterpretation would be Microsoft.

By the way, I did log on to make this comment using DIgitalMe. It sure took a horrendously long time, though. I’m not sure why that is; it’s never happened before. Maybe it’s just constipation in Utah.

I’d like to be a consumer of note too. Please tell me how to sign up!
