Gamers shut out by Passport switch | |

Online game players using Microsoft's Zone site complained of persistent problems accessing the service Tuesday, as Microsoft required all users to switch to its Passport authentication service. In a notice posted on the Zone home page, Microsoft informed users that they must sign up for the Passport online identification service, a controversial element of the company's .Net online services push. "The Zone is now a Microsoft .Net Passport site!" the notice read. "Your existing Zone account still works, but you must first sign in to .Net Passport or register for a new .Net Passport account." | ||

Sigh...
#3 - care to clarify your statements? Get its "numbers" up? Stike deals with who? How exactly does Microsoft force an independant to use passport? How do they use their monopoly in the OS market to leveage a product which by its very nature has nothing to do with the platform it's access from? If Microsoft strikes a deal with a particular web site, and you're mad, stop going to that web site because it is the managment of THAT site that you should bad mad at, not Microsoft. In addition, it's called MICROSOFT'S Zone. Gimme a break. |
