Microsoft is slowly killing of Hailstorm according to an article by John Markoff of the New York Times. He claims that MS has been slowly devesting their My Services (formerly Hailstorm) Consumer Web Services platform over the past few months, with a goal of eventually releasing "My Services" as a package for Corporates to use.
I don't know how this will affect Passport yet, but I can't imagine them halting that service for the time being, regardless of its problems. I wonder if the Citibank announcement last month will be affected by it as they were to be the prefered financial services provider for My Services.
