From ZDNet: “If there is any doubt about Microsoft’s determination to expand its Internet strategy through
Windows XP, consumers may be reminded of it no fewer than five times as soon as they try the
new operating system.

sign up for something called Passport — an identification technology that, in many ways, is a key to
Microsoft’s future.”
