Why isn't U-Prove more widespread? (www.microsoft.com)

U-Prove seems to me to be pretty close to a perfect auth system. It is possible to disclose only specific attributes and every prove is unlinkable (given no unique attribute is disclosed). Also it supports generating an unique, identity-linked ID per domain.

So I wonder why this technology is not used anywhere I know of?
