[ale] A reliable/secure openid provider?

[greg.freemyer at gmail.com (Greg Freemyer)]

I just came across Microsoft LiveID and it leaves me curious.

Is LiveID:
a openID implementation?
a openID corruption?
unrelated?

And do the MS LiveID consumers support other OpenID providers or is
this another MS only thing.

My guess is a OpenID corruption and the consumers only supports their
own ID server.

Thanks
