Data held centrally will be more secure ? Rubbish !!

The one comment that sticks out above the rest for me is:

"We're already in a society where a lot of information
is held in a myriad of places. Data held centrally will
be more secure."

Why ?!

How can it be true that doing the work of gathering and concentrating information about a person and placing it in a single database with multiple access routes; makes that information more secure?!

I would suggest that most people would make the implicit assumption that that would make it *less* secure.

When all is said, if Microsoft produce the best product people will buy it and thats a good thing. If people have to buy their product because no one else can produce an alternative, only because interoperability protocols are kept secret, then thats a bad thing.
