The image “http://blog.ebrahim.org/media/firefox-rgb.png” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.After this past week’s discussion about Microsoft favoring OpenID instead of it’s own CardSpace, why would developers for Firefox 3 (Code named Gran Paradiso) embrace CardSpace?

 

CardSpace, is Microsoft’s identity management system, a way of reducing the hassle of having as many identities (username/password credentials) as services we use and is already listed as a requirement for Firefox 3.

 

After reading the article, I am left to wonder: “Will CardSpace or OpenID win out?” There is a growing movement of non-Microsoft users that would have no need for CardSpace whereas OpenID can be used by all platforms such as Mac, Linux and Windows. OpenID wins.
