Sun and Microsoft: let's just see

Information Week is carrying a story about Sun and Microsoft working hard on getting single sign-on to work between their systems: Sun And Microsoft Aim For Single Sign-On. I'm sure everyone is working hard on it, just look at the quote:

"I wouldn't be involved at this level, [Microsoft chairman Bill] Gates wouldn't be involved at this level, for things that we thought were just standards efforts," Papadopoulos said last week. Executives from Microsoft and Sun have met 15 times since July, Microsoft director Andrew Layman says. Papadopoulos and Gates have been meeting, as have Sun CEO Scott McNealy and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

Got the right cast, but things have gone astray before. Solve this one though, and digitial identity takes a big leap forward in the enterprise space.
