Windows Cardspace!
Aha!
Looks like Microsoft has released the official name of their Infocard windows client — Windows Cardspace. Well I'm not sure if it's official, but somebody from MS has blogged about it, so that's good enough for me (-:
I like the name - it is catchy and will be easy for help desk personnel around the world to refer to. It is also Googleable, and it doesn't have the terrible generic sound that 99% of the big stack mentality monster corps seem to be blindly adhering to these days (ie <companyname> <concept> <manager>). If it had been MS Card Manager or MS Identity Manager, I would have been very unimpressed (-:
It also solves the question of - "InfoCard" vs "InfoCards" as the official name, and it is also now easy to know whether you are talking about the client or a single card.
The same blog entry also talks about the new name for WinFX - go check it out, I wouldn't want to ruin all the surprises…
Nice work y'all, I bet it feels good to get to this milestone!
Not sure if the new conventions help or hurt. This is what I think: http://itickr.com/index.php/?p=18
