Just back from vacation. The tan barely started to fade, and here I am already playing with the new shiny toy :-). Did you experiment with Zermatt by now? As Kim mentions the samples (and the documentation) are an excellent way to start, and I am sure that blog posts & tutorials will…
I am sure you already saw Kim’s post about John Fontana’s interview with Stuart, appeared on Network World. I like how John communicates the importance of this release, and how it positions it in the context of the broader picture. Recommended reading 🙂 Also, the blogosphere is buzzing: if you toy with your…
Ahh, I’ve been looking forward for this post for a looong time. We just made available for download the bits of the Beta of “Zermatt” Developer Identity Framework. “Zermatt” is the codename of a .NET framework that helps developers build claims-aware applications to address challenging application security requirements using a simplified application access…
One year ago we had a brief wall-to-wall exchange with Keith about the need of having consumer (as non-developer) info about CardSpace. The Information Card Foundation is doing a great job at handling those info for the general concept of information card. Specifically for Windows CardSpace, I am happy to announce that we now…

No, Harry Seldon has nothing to do with it 🙂 The establishment of the Information Card Foundation is a milestone in the road of a better Internet. In their own words: Information Cards are the new way to control your personal data and identity on the web. The Information Card Foundation is a…
[edit: the Microsoft Hospitality Suite is on Thursday, not on wednesday as I originally wrote. Thanks Christian!] Next week is Catalyst time. It will be a nice time to raise my head a bit from all the super interesting (but sometime exhausting) stuff we’re brewing here in Redmond, which is leaving me little (zero?)…
Ahh, terminology: joy and sorrow of our kind. There are some expressions that are very catchy and we use all the time, but that do not always serve well the purpose of communicating our thoughts. Take the usage of “passive” in the context of identity management; we tend to use it every time…
I am sure you already fell in love with Live Mesh: I know I did. Today I did a little experiment, which probably shows how desperately I need to go in vacation ASAP: I wanted to do a mega-remote session that would go through pretty much all the physical machines I am using…
