Microsoft eyes Visa users with Passport

CNET.com has a story about how Micro$oft is going to gang up with Visa and Mastercard to require people to type in their passport username and password when using the cards for an online purchase. Is it just me or do others think this is a really bad idea. I don't trust Microsoft, especially when it comes to valuable online purchasing data. I don't want the worlds biggest computer monopoly to start profiling me and selling my online identity to the highest bidder.
