Jurgis,

There is something else to consider about Microsoft. There is a battle for the Internet, but this isn't your well publicized battle.

Have you noticed that one can sign onto websites such as Ebay, Monster.com and careerbuilder.com using Microsoft's Passport? Of course, you can also use your AOL screen name on Careerbuilder.com, but what I believe that MSFT is trying to do is create a "toll booth" to enter various sites. Now, the question is: How is MSFT going to make money off of this?

Could they use demographics based upon our job search history and purchasing history on ebay and sell this information?
