"Alex Henderson (Aka Bittercoder) has written a pretty good OAuth library in .NET for implementing an OAuth consumer and service provider. The library is available here under a MIT license (do wherever you want with it), and it is very easy to use. Alex has definitively made a very good work. My WCF channel implementation for OAuth mounts on top of his library and it basically transforms a OAuth token into a .NET security principal that can be used later within the service implementation. The channel is implemented as a RequestInterceptor, one of new features introduced in the REST WCF Starter Kit. This interceptor basically captures the request at channel level and performs all the validations required by OAuth" - Chris Messina via Mento

To me, this feels like what would happen if suddenly kool-aid needed 9 cups of water instead of 8; it doesn't really make much difference overall; but it lets the company tout their "newest innovation". Faux innovation if you will ;-) - Robin Monks

And they even removed the Firewire hub built-in to the 23" model... then again, everyone's going to USB so I guess that makes sense. - Chris Messina
