1: you leave a biometric footprint everywhere you go,
Latent fingerprints, high resolution video, facebook profiles...all examples of how i can pick up someone's biometric. This is not an unknown problem.
2: once compromised, you can't reset your biometric profile.
Clearly. Just based on the definition you can draw that conclusion - a unique, unchanging trait that is used to separate the user from a group.
Common and justified criticisms that people think are just the 'silver bullet' of why a biometric should never be implemented. I've posted replies to these a few times. Feel free to check them out.
Either way, the difference between a corporate login system, and me logging into my laptop is huge. MS implementing a biometric for a consumer laptop is fitting given the current state of the field. Use it or don't, no one is forcing you.
