<<There are a couple of items in there that are troubling: (1) MSFT's original intention to build its own biometric
base. That has probably now been abandoned. (2) The general reference to MSFT incorporating I/O products,
which I hope is limited to the API just announced and not SecureSuite. >>

I wonder if MSFT did harbor those plans, and whether they were affected in any way by the Antitrust litigation. We'll probably never know.

Last night, I logged onto the IO website, and couldn't help but notice the many ways SecureSuite seems to compete with BioLogon. I'll sign off here, but the truth of it is that the presence of gorillas like MSFT in biometrics . . . worries me.
