15 character minimum passwords

[Todd Gunter <guntet () SAGE EDU>]

Has anyone adopted the use of 15 character minimum passwords?

We are going to start using this password format when we migrate to Windows 2003.  I was wondering if anyone has 
started to use this format and what, if any, issues you had using them?

We see this as a simpler approach to passwords.  Fifteen character password with complexity is simply 
'Ihaveabigmouth.'.  They are also supposed to much harder to crack.

Please let me know your experiences with this move and any bumps in the road to look out for.

Thanks,
Todd :)>
