(off topic) Re: Agincourt. As I read my military history, it wasn't just the longbow that decided the battle for the English. Prince Hal chose his ground well -- a constricted field with heavy woods on both sides -- where the French numbers counted for less, there was no chance of the English being flanked, and where the heavily armored French knights had to dismount. They were literally packed in, falling over themselves and their dead. And of course, French arrogance (some things never change) did them in. I agree theres a Microsoft parallel there. And I hope it holds up.
