I really dislike facebook (the new walled garden) so I'm still all for OpenID which is far more open.

See, here's the thing - no disrespect to you, but you voiced the opinion most succinctly. Most people don't care about walled or not walled. They care about easy. And because Facebook is easy, and because OpenID sounds like sawdust in your mouth, Facebook has a vast advantage. Especially once most sites add Facebook Connect over OpenID, because it has more users.

A noble statement, but it's not one that carries out.
