We are all very concerned of the scenario you mention. However, looking at the existing technology and the fact that Microsoft has agreed to an open specification promise with regards to it, does give us some confidence.

My thought on this is that CardSpace is going to be out there no matter what. Its a great way to secure your identity as well as ensure privacy when you want to. However, it misses out on the “public” side of my identity. OpenID is the perfect compliment to that.

It should be noted that yes we do support the work of Microsoft with respect to CardSpace we will never require the use of CardSpace for our users (I’m speaking with my JanRain hat on).

The facts are – Microsoft’s proprietary extensions to core technologies such as DNS, Kerberos, SMB, CIFS, email and calendar technologies etc etc make interoperability with Open Source products very painful. Furthermore, every new version of Windows (and thankfully there haven’t been too many lately!) introduces new gotchas to make life difficult.

So my question to the OpenID Foundation – given your new friendly relationship with Microsoft CardSpace – what guarantees will there be that Microsoft won’t extend to extinguish?

Kim Cameron may be truly dedicated to doing the right thing. However, one day he will be gone. What guarantee is there that having established CardSpace as a ubiquitous technology, it then adds proprietary extensions that yet again makes interoperability with Open Source products?

The reality is that Kim Cameron does not make the final decision on such matters. In reality it is the likes of Steve Ballmer and Microsoft sales executives who will always have the last say on implementations of technology strategies designed to lock-out competitors.
