The salesman at GlobalSign that I talked to claimed that the certificates that they sell are exactly the same as the certificates sold by all the others. The technology is identical, and comes from Microsoft, I believe.
He said the only difference between them and Verisign and the others was the way they check on the customers actually being who they claim they are, and the amount of confidence they can inspire when someone sees their name - "this certificate is verified by GlobalSign" vs. "this certificate is verified by FlyByNight Certificates".
