It has re-engaged a number of serious identity thinkers, and clarified things for many observers. In a few short months, it has already shaken up thinking in several arenas. Kim is Chief Identity Architect at Microsoft, and Microsoft's identity strategy is gaining clarity again, but the products that this conversation affects in 2005 won't be just Microsoft's.
