I don't know of anything that integrates w/ your .Net Passport that you can
set up to integrate w/ Windows login... nothing period. I've never seen
anything use this feature.

Under Control Panel | User Accounts | Advanced

What's the point of Passport integration if it doesn't do anything? Wasn't
that the whole point of it's purpose some 10 years ago in its inception?

Course it does! It's originally meant to help with things like Windows
Messenger, but as that isn't there anymore...
But still, it helps with things that use the .NET Passport, so that you
don't have to keep entering it all the time. The Digital Locker
(http://www.vistabase.co.uk/welcome.php?subcats/systemapps/digitallocker),
Internet Explorer catches onto some things with .NET and other things
that'll be integrated.

It's there to save time, and it will end up working 100% by the time of RTM
:o)

??? Something is being requested ??
That cached passport is available for use when visiting
resources needing passport authn.
Windows already does allow use of these, and login can
be done at least within an IIS interface where protocol
transitioning can enable tying the external authn'd identity
to a Windows identity.
