How big brother is this? Microsoft is planning on adding biometric measurement and authentication to future releases of Windows to take the place of those pesky text-based passwords. I don’t think I’m being overly paranoid if I happen to express some concern about Microsoft having control over a retinal-scanning device connected to my computer. They could also support authentication technology as mundane as voiceprint identification. No mention of the fact that Apple has already had OS-level voiceprint capability for over six months as part of Mac OS 9.
