[Preston] Ideas for the future

[Georgina]

Hi

Well, I'm confused straight away, in respect of attempting to understanding
the security advantages over one ID system over another.  Most of my
computing peers use MS Live or whatever it's called.  Although, thinking
about it's not from a moral standpoint but just because it's what my mate is
using.  It's probably a very bad word to use.  I guess my preference would
come from my personal beliefs but they rarely include what someone else is
using.  But rather from supporting one community over another for a variety
of reasons that might be founded upon moral choices and political
foundations.

As that mudded the water even more?

Can you elaborate on why you see OpenID as a moral choice?  To me it's
purely a technical / engineering / security matter, but that's probably
guided by my background.

Cheers,
Andy
