Bit disappointed that it's not. Id have expected at least a v0 effort, to showcase that the architecture can gateway openid messages, as well as it gateways all the other largely-equivalent protocols.</blockquote>
</div><br>I agree. I don't know if Mike Jones or anyone else with Micrsoft wants to comment, but looking over the Geneva project site [1] and the "End to End Trust" microsite [2], I'm dismayed (though not surprised) at the lack of acknowledgement of OpenID. I mean, given MSFT's involvement in the OIDF, I would be curious if they have some kind of roadmap for integrating OpenID, or if they're relegating it to certain limited applications for community cred only.<div>

<div><br></div><div>While some elements within MSFT are moving in a positive direction [4], I'm confused by the seemingly schizophrenic approach with Cardspace and OpenID. What's the dilly? Are they committed or not? And, furthermore, what needs to happen with OpenID so that it becomes more of a cornerstone technology with their security offerings (like Forefront [5])?</div>
