That's where you are mistaken. Being a sheep is not an insult, it just shows that you react instead of making calculated moves. Just like Sun-Tsu, know your enemy (which is in this case the news). Microsoft Network is a non-player as an ISP and content provider. Big deal. And Microsoft certainly didn't sound like they declared "war" on INKT, it sounded to me like Compaq mandated that MSFT use their system, probably in front of Compaq buying msn.com outright. I'm not always right, but to state you would get away from this purely on this news release this morning is shortsighted, and frankly, a sheep-like response. It will have a minimal impact to the company--the major impact is a short-term panic based on psychology. Insult was not my intent.
