MS should force us to use Passport
Why dont they make it so you have to have a Passport to login to Windows 2000 and XP?
A passport to use any of the Office products or to even view an Office document?
How about a passport to get windows updates?
A passport to even read the MS web site?

MS is just too lazy, they have so many ways to extend the use of the passport and make it so everyone will want to have one.
