It's in keeping with their renewed focus on the enterprise. It's a major concern for corporate customers, and being able to impose two-factor authentication at the system level, and potentially lock down corporate systems to render them unable to run untrusted code will be seen as a major feature.

The potential impact on end-users is cloudier, and I expect to see an assortment of "Oops!" stories once Win 10 is broadly deployed as home users thinking they will be more secure turn on features that may break existing setups.

I have a card reader from my bank which uses the system, and it works well. Can't use the card reader without the associated PIN, or the PIN without the card reader.
