Windows Live Accounts in Sharepoint

Hold your hands up, everyone. Now put them down if you've never used a browser. OK, lost one.

Now, put them down if you've never used a browser to access a Sharepoint site. Wow, lost a lot there.

M'kay, now put them down if you've ever built or administered a sharepoint site. Anyone left? Oh, there's a few in the corner.

Now, put them down if you've never thought - "Gee, I wish I could authenticate users on my Sharepoint site without having to give them an account on my domain". Where'd the hands go. Woohoo, still got one. This article is for you - yes, you in the shirt.

Codeplex.com now has, in the Community Kit for SharePoint, a Windows Live Authentication feature that you can install and enable the use of Windows Live ID's to your sharepoint site. Kinda cool, huh?
