is there anything bad associated with .net?

[gitman]

just call me paranoid, when messenger ran on my system and i decided i wanted to create an account, it told me i had to create a .net passport.

is there any security risks associated with a .net passport?

sorry if this question has been asked, thanks in advance.

no, there are no real risks associated with it, since now if you sign up for hotmail you automatically have a .net passport, if you are worried about compromised data just don't use any of the eWallet features .net offers that way there is no sensitive info to be had other then your name and such which anyone could get nowadays anyway
