Yep, it's a virtual card ... but can be unlocked with a hardware-based or dynamically retrieved/generated key if required.
It's not part of IE7 - IE7 just understands the MIME type and how to request a token from the "InfoCard" subsystem.
It's not just goign to be part of Vista - it's going to be available for XP (SP2+), 2003 Server (SP1+) and Vista upwards.
At some point you'll see similar and compatible subsystems on other platforms too ... and before you ask ... no, not from Microsoft - from those platform vendors!
