I don't think Microsoft have thought about this, how do you thump Ctrl+Alt+Delete on a touch screen?!

I suspect NFC (Near Field Communication) technology in mobile phones will start to replace bank cards etc.

Its already being using in Japan. We demonstrated a prototype Nissan Juke to Renault/Nissan at the end of last year that used NFC in a mobile, basically acting as a key. (also charged the phone)

So not sure we would still be carrying aroung seperate bank cards etc..

Because it's more secure, given the current fragile security of electronic data, may be we should all go back to hand written cheques

NB : After having my card cloned twice by different scum bag garage attendants and the bank and police not giving a toss, I only ever pay for petrol with good old fashioned secure cash

Never said it was more secure just more convenient.  Wouldn't have though it was much more secure than current chip & pin.

Same tech as Barclaycard and Oyster already use, just shoved in a phone.
