Yahoo usability tests bode ill for OpenID takeup

Observing these tests was more than a bit frustrating for the Yahoo OpenID team, and the test subjects may have been distracted by the sounds of the groans and head-pounding coming from the other side of the one-way mirror. Certainly there is a lot of work to be done on the OpenID UX (user experience) front.

Yahoos Implementation or OpenID itself?
I briefly scanned the report from Yahoo. I'm wondering how much of this is Yahoos Implementation, how many websites are implementing it, something in openid itself, and/or a bit of social engineering (we think a login box needs to have space for a user/pass).
I wonder if there is a solution that doesn't really move the cheese of the average user.
