MS is on the right track integrating Instant Messaging with Windows XP, that article on internet telephony is a good example how MS can use OPN (other peoples networks) to create a billable service. (I think a video answering machine would be cool) And the user base is 'chomping at the bit'. Hook 'em when their young -- they are tomorrows subscribers... "A soon-to-be released study done by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 17 million Americans, ages 12 to 17 - or 73 percent of that population - have Internet access.

By comparison, another Pew survey earlier this year found that only 44 percent of adults have tried instant messaging. " msnbc.com
