a solitary firefly flies at nite
into the darkness an endless flight
a million flashes of delight.

Sorry, I just skimmed the article, but who would use/trust an MS version of something like BitTorrent?
BTW, didn't I read where Bram Cohen or someone is working on making BitTorrent searchable? That would be huge. Besides being the biggest nightmare ever for the MPAA, it would probably choke most ISPs overnight.

Knowing Microsoft (as they do with Windows Media Player) it'll catalog all the files you're downloading, then email you "helpful tips and special promotions." AKA, spam.

This is actually the sort of thing I expected Apple to use if they made an Movie store. Instead of choking down bandwidth costs themselves. Just have their own servers going super fast, and get more bandwidth from other sources. Though I imagine if they charge ten bucks a movie they can afford the couple hundred megs of download an H.264 movie would set em back...
