2 Factor

I am actively looking for a better authentication solution. Today, I am using username and password, but would love to go to a 2 factor option, RSA, or a token like eToken. Just starting to investigate. I would really like something integrated with AD so that I can manage it within my current AD structure and not have to add additional authentication servers, etc. Ideally the token would work with or without pre-installed client on the windows desktop. It has to work with Juniper SSL VPN, OWA, MOSS 2007, CRM 4.0 and I need to be able to convert current windows authenticated web apps to use the 2 factor solution.

Any Ideas?

Windows 7 - can't wait

I installed windows 7 on my Dell Latitude some time a go (windows 7 ). I love it, no issues on install or use. (only issues were surrounding IE8 and websites stating that I had a version that was not supported. So I am looking forward to the RC and then to installing on my network. My plan at the moment will be to roll it out in my network as soon as it is possible.

I had a slim hope that some of the rumors were true and an RC release would be waiting for me this morning, April 10 .
No such luck, looks like maybe the May rumors are the more likely true.
