Early adopters tend to be industry leaders, well
respected, who use new technology to gain a competitive
advantage in the market.
Early majority consumers spend considerable time and
effort to educate themselves on changes in the marketplace
and follow the early-adopter crowd only after they
are convinced that everyone else is likely to proceed.
?– Perspective: Information Cards, not CardSpace
This chapter refers to support for Information Cards??”not CardSpace??”because
CardSpace is just one implementation of the technology that gives the user the
capability to sign in using an Information Card. This guidance is designed to
work across different browsers and platforms, both client and server. To facilitate
this, there are no Microsoft-centric Information Card logos, and the wording is
kept very generic and plain so as not to promote any implementation over another.
In the actual implementation of a website or application that uses Information
Cards, a strong effort should be made to ensure that a user of any platform or
technology that supports the Information Card concept is welcomed. Avoiding
the use of the terms CardSpaceand instead using ( codename) InfoCardsis more
appropriate.
