Let's see. NBC>>>>>MSNBC>>>>>MS. An amazing coincidence that NBC and MS
would use the same concept.

It's not the few extra links, Ted. It's who is putting them there. It is my
job to put the links on a page that a client wants there. No one else has
any cause or right whatsoever to add links to someone else's pages.

It is, however, a logical extension of Microsft thinking. First, control
how they get there (IE). Second, control where they go (Smartlinks) Third,
control.........control..........control.
