Tell me this can't be true ... its ten years old already!
I have a collection of old SecureID cards in several flavors ... key fobs, credit card like access tokens, corporate ID's w/ secureID tokens etc. After being *the* industry standard for secure remote access (via physical token) for over ten years Windows is just now getting its SecureID support?

This is a perfect example of the inertia MS imposes on non-MS owned technology ... at no time in the last 10 years did MS think SecureID support would be worth leting these folks have at the parts of Windows authorization needed to replace a stupid plain text password with a time domain token?

Come on, this is over a decade late - it can't be true!
