(pretty poor) CSS7 vs Digital Persona

[libit]

I don't like IBM Client Security (v7 build 1022) for the reasons explained below. I like MUCH better the software that comes with the Microsoft fingerprint USB reader (which is a custom version of Digital Persona). However that doesn't work with the thinkpad reader. There is another version though that should work with thinkpads: Digital Persona Pro workstation 3.5. Since they don't offer trial versions nor money back guarantee, I'd like to know if anyone as any experience with this piece of software?

What I don't like about CSS (maybe it can be configured to work better?):
- if you enable the CSS login interface, booting takes longer because of the initialization of the TPM module takes quite long; also it's not compatible with welcome screen and fast user swtiching.
- I want welcome screen and fast user swtiching, so I've disabled the css login interface
- If you disable the CSS login interface, then you need to authenticate 2 TIMES (clearly unacceptable) at every login: the first time is for the login itself, the second time is to make Password Manager happy
- Password manager prompts you to save the web password on certain web pages, however this doesn't work very consistently as it is often just a nuisance (when it asks to save password for a webform that is not really a login form) and because sometime it misses important pages (for example it doesn't prompt me to store the password when I login to my bank account). Isn't there a way to invoke the Password manager "store password" dialog manually???? The Digital Persona idea (you just swipe your finger to get the "store password" dialog) is much better.
- Ctrl-F2 (or any other configured key combination) doesn't work for me (ctrl-shift-b works)
- When configured in "Convenient" mode, it's not safe at all. Anybody in front of your pc can get access to the web sites you have saved the password for. So if you leave your desk for a minute you are at risk. "Secure" mode is the only sensible mode.
- There is no control on when it should display the fingerprint prompt to have a login-form automatically filled: it always asks for a fingerprint on every page for which there is a saved password, but there are some sites that have both info that you can see without logging in and custom info/service that requires you to login in. When you are just interested in the public info and you don't need to login, the fingerprint prompt is just a nuisance. For example take www.kataweb.it, it offers news, wheather etc, but you can also login to access your email. If you are just interested in the wheather you don't want to login for the email, but still PM prompts for a fingerprint (and since the site auto-refreshs every minute, you have to cancel the fingerprint dialog every minute). Again better the Digital persona idea: if you want the login form automatically filled, just swipe your finger.
