Microsoft announced today that it is converting its Passport authentication system to Kerberos 5.0. The switch should allow Hailstorm web services (now christened .Net My Services), to accept authentication from any number of Kerberos-compliant authentication vendors.
MS wants industry-wide cooperation on an "Internet trust network." What's your trust level?

Not as far as I can throw them...
Are we talking about the same Kerberos 5 that Microsoft "embraced and extended" almost four years ago?
If VA's Ted T'so is to be believed, then maybe this announcement is - sadly - less a serious move towards openness in Passport and .NET, and more just another play in Microsoft's continuing shell game.
