OpenID will be implemented by Microsoft to be ONE(of many) authentication  
method supported by CardSpace.
Cardspace has been described to me as like a Wallet, When you want to log  
into a website, if you've got a "card" in your "Cardspace"(Wallet) that  
can identify you to that website, you click that card, and it logs you in.
Its not to Replace the Passport system, rather cardspace is to allow a  
single place to store multiple authtication details.
 From the little i've heard, it sounds like its going to be an Windows-IE  
companionship, So it might be useless to no-IE users. (But that may be  
wrong)

Its included in Vista from what i can see, And will be offered as a Add-on  
for XP from an article i just read.
The article i just read was this: (Feb 8 2007)
