I'd pick Stef's choice 2. Then again, CS types are NOT Microsoft's "main
target market". Homes and Corporations are. Bill is selling his vision to
CEOs and CIOs, not to the poor schmucks like us who actually care about
details (and yes, they are details, sorry if this hurts your feelings) about
name-to-internet-address resolution.

BTW... Bill was in fact using DNA as well. Why shouldn't this be a worse
crime? DNA is a much older and more widely used acronym. Of course, maybe
Bill doesn't know what DNA is either... (right)
