I couldn't agree more with Steve Smith's rant on MS Passport. I like the idea of single sign-on support but at 12k per year it's impossible to justify. I think my customers would prefer me to spend an additional 12k per year on product enhancements that outweigh the advantages of the Passport service. If I'm not mistaken, Microsoft gains a tremendous amount of marketing information from users who use the Passport service. Couldn't the price tag for this kind of information offset the yearly cost of the service?
