Well MSFT not realizing that the "Network is the Computer" directly correlates with MSFT's predatory business practices for which the present antitrust lawsuit is addressing. Namely, MSFT used illegal business practices because they were not smart enough to realize that indeed the "Network is the Computer" and thus to a certain extent were forced to illegally annihilate (via their monopolistic market share on the nodes of the network) competitors which were ahead of the network curve on them. BillG even went so far as to, initially, summarily discount the value of the network (InterNet). Soooo... I wouldn't call this a marketing ploy. I'd call "The Network is the Computer" a reality. A sufficiently high-bandwidth network is indistinguishable from a computing sense (and much more valuable from an information basis) from a computer.
