I repeat this is not a Microsoft specific solution. Microsoft just 
happens to have something implemented in Vista that facilitates this 
identity metasystem . There are other solutions, both proprietary and 
open, for other operating systems so to characterize Microsoft 
as "the one company who is providing a solution" is not accurate. 
Ironically the people who become apoplectic at the mere mention of 
the word "Microsoft" are the ones who make it seem like Microsoft has 
the only solution.
