Can I get your fingerprint please? In that never ending quest to keep things secure, Microsoft is offering various hardware designed to confirm your identity for your personal PC security.

A novel idea I suppose, but what is the likelihood of anyone outside of an office environment actually taking the time to use something like this?

Wonder no more. Microsoft has developed a convenient solution for replacing all those passwords with something you don’t have to worry about forgetting: your fingerprint. Integrated into some of Microsoft’s latest keyboard and mouse products and also sold separately, the Microsoft® Fingerprint Reader lets you log on to your favorite Web sites without scrambling for passwords—just touch the fingerprint reader with a registered fingerprint whenever a password or user name is required, and you’re in. Just like that.
