Using Smartcards to Login

Hello!

I read somewhere (I just don't know where any more) that Vista supports
logging on using smartcards. Is that right? Do I have to notice anything when
buying a smartcard reader? Is any blank smartcard ok?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best wishes,
Tobias

Thank you very much for this fast answer...
