The Switch Identity problem appears to be fixed in XPSP2. There is of
course no guarantee that users will not continue to have problems with the
feature but so far on the machines I've put SP2 on, it appears to work as
intended. There is some indication that identities may go away in the next
version of the operating system, presently called Longhorn, but at this
juncture, it's much too early to tell if any features will or will not be
changed in an updated operating system since the projected release is more
than 2 years away (and maybe longer).
