[OpenID] Windows Live ID OpenID CTP Status Update (August 2009)

[Eric Sachs]

Jorgen, I'd love to also hear Microsoft's thoughts on what you have learned
from operating Windows Live ID in terms of user experience and
functionality.  You called out one specific feature OpenID lacks in
comparison to Live ID:

OpenID does not support a network sign-out function as part of its protocol,
which can mean that users are left in a state that differs from what they
might assume. For example, Windows Live ID users who sign out of an OpenID
site might expect to be completely signed out of their account, because that
is what happens on all other Windows Live ID-enabled sites.

Are there any other things we should be learning from your experience Live
ID?  Yahoo educated us about many interesting things they learned operating
BBAuth for federated login.
