Personally, I like the <eighty-subdomains>.BigCompany.COM. approach; it just scales better. Less messy. Tastes great.
I once asked Vint why they'd been allowed to call it InternetMCI.COM rather than Internet.MCI.COM and he said "the sales and marketing people were more powerful than I was" or words to that effect. Recall my previous article about "dot envy".
