So they just figured to skips hundreds, and go straight from dozens to thousands? I honestly don't expect games getting that big any time soon, but it's nice to know some competent people are working on the technology to make truly massive online games feasible in the near future.

Well, microsoft research technologies are basicly 3-5 Years from being market ready. So your right, it won't happening soon. The german article explains the thoughts and technologies aprouch very well. The intresting thing is, that its p2p means no servers. I think it is nice, and would be cool in some games to do such massive online games.
