Re: [DotGNU]A new battle front

[Barry Fitzgerald]

Microsoft has been making contracts with sites to use passport.com to 
authenticate.  This part is not news.  The advent of sites that require 
passport.com authentication is new.  It's disturbing that it has begun this 
quickly.  We can only assume that MS is stepping up their timetable.

The cookies issue is probably because turning off cookies will expose the 
type of cookies that are coming in.  If cookies are coming in from 
passport.com, you can assume that the site is trying to get information to 
and from passport.com in some manner.
