This is pretty exciting stuff.

The use of IPSec, PKI Security Certificates and Group Policy for authentication and enabling authorization models have received a lot of attention this year. This is great news. As large enterprises expand their scope and scale of user resource needs
(example: mobile PoS Self Service environments, Cell Phone personal PoS, RFID, channel partner services, etc...), It will be interesting to see how this might affect AD and ADAM enterprise architecture designs in the future.

Furthermore, as these security systems become more standard in the enterprise, it could potentially decrease the amount of authentication and authorization complexity in each siloed applcation introduced into the data center. Thus it could decrease TCO of a multitude of solutions (Unix as well as Microsoft). A predictable and consistent model
across silos.
