Today, Sun and Microsoft demonstrated cross-domain single sign-on into each other's environments using new specifications the two companies have been working on jointly, namely the Web Single Sign-on Metadata Exchange protocol and the Interoperability Profile.
You can view the entire webcast here. Pat Patterson, a Sun co-worker, shows up around 17 minutes into the press briefing, but you should watch the whole thing.
Pat and his Microsoft counterpart, Don Schmidt, do a great job of describing federation, how it works and the specific benefits companies can achieve as a result.
Way to go, Pat!

I also enjoyed hearing Pat in the press conference. It's great to know that Identity Management is the pivotal issue in the Sun/Microsoft relationship.
I enjoyed discovering your blog today. I've added it to my blogroll.
Best regards,
Mark
