As Mark said, the difference is that it is open. It is simply a protocol. It does not have a centralized user base. Users are free to move from provider to provider. I know I'll personally be supporting it on a number of upcoming sites, and I think others should too. Well, I think people should support it. As Mark said, the difference is that it is open.

All the others were proprietary stovepipes. I love that I can set up identity and delegate to any OpenID Provider I choose, and switch providers if one of them proves undesirable. Holy Grail? Maybe not, but at least everybody is invited to the party. The MicroYahooGoogle solutions were too exclusive. So yeah, support it. JanRain's libraries make it easy.
