I went to the Microsoft company store this afternoon with a friend. I didn’t find the software I was after but did find a fingerprint reader. I figured it would save me the hassle of remembering the couple dozen or so passwords I have for my computer and various websites.
But so far it only works to log me in to Windows XP and on couple of websites. It won’t work with Amazon, either of my banks or New Egg just to name a few.
Either I’m doing something wrong (likely) or this fingerprint reader is only going to knock a few seconds off the very few times I reboot XP. Now if I were running Vista just imagine how much time it would be saving me. π
This little device is saving me at least 3 to 4 seconds a day

Dude it totally works for websites, you are doing something wrong. try harder π
I remote desktop into my “office” computer from the kitchen computer a lot, which means it’s always at the “logon” screen when I walk into my office, well in XP you still have to type in your Password, but in Vista if you get back to the logon screen like this, it WORKS so it saves you even more time in Vista. come on you know it’s time to go back now π
