Hi Scott - Federation >>And this is a good example. In my conversations with >>credit card companies, they are not going to allow the >>user to "federate" ... they are going to be the owner of >>the user object ... in their directory. If you try and map current computer use and system design, this is very true. But there are areas where federation can fit in. At the moment the link between client/supplier/card company already has interactions which map to a federated model - the transfer of address information etc. How this done in the future will be worth watching, after all that was what digitalme was designed to allow. >>I'm not interested in giving people access to the machine >>and directory where all of my personal and confidential >>information is stored ... just a security perspective. >>You might feel just fine about it ... ;-) If you had asked the 38m sharing MP3 files a few years back about sharing there systems across the net, I guess few would have said it was a good idea. It will depend on the level of security provided. Roger
