Hockeyfan,
I also wish the review had been better. However, I was GREATLY encouraged by this paragraph in the report (even though they are talking about Digital Persona instead of CPQ/IDT) because it shows how people are reacting to biometrics - they LIKE it!!! - (notice the words "HUGE SUCCESS" and "MUCH HAPPIER"). They apparently think it's a move in the right direction and this bodes well for the industry!
"Employees at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Cheyenne, Wyo., have been using Digital Persona Inc.'s U.are.U Fingerprint Recognition System for about three months, and the program has been a huge success, according to Tom Chalfant, the systems manager at the court. "Users were complaining that they had to remember different passwords for different programs," Chalfant said. In addition, the passwords for different systems would expire at different times, adding to the burden of managing and remembering them. "Now [users] can use fingerprints" for all those systems, he said. Users are much happier with the new system because of its ease of use and also because they think it's just plain fun."
I know we need to be concerned about the little details but we also need to be aware of the big picture. In this case I think the big picture looks just fine.
