RE: Call off the dogs--authentication solution already in enterprise-class

Just like with USB and optical storage (mentioned above) it's not going to take hold in a widespread way until you see it in a Mac. Apple shipped the first PCs with standard, built-in optical CD-ROM drives (though they were way behind the curve with recordables) and USB didn't show up on mainstream PCs until the iMac popularized it (and everyone laughed because it used USB for the keyboard and mouse, and didn't include a floppy drive). For years I've kept all my passwords in my encrypted keychain on the Mac, which syncs automatically between multiple computers, which I could take anywhere on a USB stick (still encrypted). Once they offer integration with TPM devices, it will become mainstream.
