"Because right now, it's still behind the pack."
Um.. Active Directory run's pretty much every Enterprise and Corporation worldwide. From that, I'd say Microsoft "has got it right".
- otterley 13y agoActive Directory is pervasive because Windows is pervasive, and Windows is pervasive because MS Office is pervasive. To my knowledge, there is no other effective central AAA (authentication/authorization/accounting) solution for Windows than Active Directory. Cloud-based office productivity products are slowly chipping away at AD's necessity, but there's still a need out there for a cloud-based AAA solution that meets the needs of BigCos and SmallCos alike. Unfortunately it's going to be a while before we get there because it will have to emulate AD in the meantime.
