Yes there is stuff going on in the background with MS servers but no other user intervention is required.

After the user views the image with the application it will launch the website on their handheld. Yes there is stuff going on in the background with MS servers but no other user intervention is required.

"it will instruct their mobile browser to launch my website with no other intervention" This is not entirely accurate. Microsoft servers are still involved in every transaction. When you create a Tag the only information in the Tag is an ID. The ID is sent to the MS server and the information is sent back. This is the reason why MS Tags are all the same size, they have actually minimized the information contained in the Tag. QR codes, while bigger, actually contain the information in the code. One benefit to the MS Tag system is that you can change the information associated with a Tag without having to make a new tag. That could be extremely useful.
