Microsoft expands into enterprise single sign-on

Microsoft announced this morning that they are acquiring Sentillion:

Sentillion has successfully combined patented technology with a deep understanding of the healthcare industry to deliver the most comprehensive set of solutions for single sign-on, clinical workstations, advanced authentication, identity management and desktop virtualization.

While the emphasis on the acquisition is healthcare focused I'm sure that Microsoft will want to roll some or all of the Sentillion technology into their FIM/identity management product line eventually.
