Well I'm one of the ones who refused to use passport, in fact it's one = of the
reasons I dropped out of all windows beta testing (because they = required
passport). My reasoning was two fold. First, if I wanted the = computer to
remember my login information for a site, as you mentioned, = I had the IE
password manager which I would use for unimportant sites = like the NYT and
such but any site where I buy stuff I would always tell = it to NOT remember
me.
Second, a single multiple site signin/tracking service I personally view = as
too invasive.
So, what was it, the users not using passport or sites not using = passport
that has reduced Microsoft's interest in persuing passport with = the vigor
they once had for it?

I disagree. First, Passport is not that. The person at the =
keyboard must still confirm who he is.
Second, if you look at some of the folks, who likely don't use =
Passport, posting to the recent slashdot item on Passport, say that they =
perceived it as similar to their running a password manager app on the =
client. This folks obviously do want to automate the process. Third, = IE and
other browsers contain password managers and people use them. = Lastly, you
have people that use the same user name and password = wherever they can and
keep it all written on post-its by the computer. = They are just trying to
make it easier.
In other words, one, people clearly do want to automate this. Two, =
Passport is not the same. It provides single sign-in where you have one =
identity (per passport) at multiple sites not multiple identities, one = per
site.

Glad to see you are still around Rich, I was beginning to miss your =
comments. My point was that the people who use the internet the most = aren't
so stupid that they want a service to replace or automate the = process of
confirming the person at the keyboard is the account holder.

Neither of these applies to Passport so if you are going to =
make junk up you could make up worse.

It boiled down to too few people trusting their computer with =

computer is
going to enter it for you..
