Thanks guys. I am always looking to save a buck. But after hearing from
you, and since it is not my buck, I think I will suggest we renew
annually with Verisign.<br>

Before Verisign issues a certificate thay make a good faith effort to <br>
insure you are who you actually say you are. <br>
<br>
When you issue your own certificates the customer has to take your word <br>
for it. If I have a choice of turning my credit card number over to <br>
company A. who has a Verisign certificate confirming with realitively <br>
high level of confidence that you are who you say you are I am a whole lot <br>
more comfortable than for instance giving my info over to company B. who <br>
issues it's own certificates. Not much security in that, just as well post <br>
my card number on the wall of a phone booth. The certificates <br>
that you issue from the MS certificate server are ment to be used to <br>
verify internally within your own system that you are dealing with an <br>
authorized machine in your own organization. <br>
