Satanic Passport
Privacy group attacks Windows XP, Passport
The loose affiliation of 14 groups amended an existing complaint filed in late July with the FTC. During a media event here, Marc Rotenberg, executive director for the Electronic Privacy Information Center ( EPIC), said the groups had filed a 12-page supplemental complaint "alleging that Microsoft by offering Passport (authentication) and associated services is engaging in unfair and deceptive trade practices in violation of Section 5 of the FTC act."
Microsoft uses the Passport technology for some of its MSN Web properties, its messaging service, e-book purchases (Only the one that you buy that is using DRM5 that is not compatible with Pocket PC) and new features found in Windows XP. Microsoft partners, such as McAfee.com and Starbucks, use Passport to authenticate some of the services and goods they offer over the Web.
IMHO. I quit using passport because when I opened the slow Hotmail it will log in to all the passport sites, so let's tell their partner, to stop using passport, since not anyone like to have hotmail/passport account.
