Index Bump

I'd hate for Microsoft to do to me what it did to IBM back in the heady days of OS/2 development.

A fish rots from the head down, and there is no more rotten a fish than Microsoft in my book (well, except for the entire Clinton administration and the DNC, of course).

I'd trust them more (or at least as much as) Paypal/Ebay

Misleading title.

Look for Bill Gates to buy out Ebay and Paypal. It will make Microsoft King Of All Internet Businesses!

MICROSOFT HAS PLANS to incorporate credit card details into its controversial Passport system....
...
According to research firm Gartner, the Passport service has about 14 million registered users...
...
There is an option on the Passport system to insert credit card details, but Gartner estimates that only around 14 per cent of its users select this option.

So... this service isn't even in use yet, but close to two million people have already typed in their credit card numbers. Geeeeeezzz....

14% of Passport users are stupider than I thought.

Some users may find the thought of making Microsoft the guardian of Internet users' personal data a tad scary.

Count me among that group.
