The big difference with your link is that its displaying rastered information so interaction is a bit different. Specifically with Greg's specs is you can't easily do the "hit testing and pleasing animations on mouse over and click" since you don't have the details of the polygons on the client side. It can however support larger and more complex data since you don't rely on the client for rendering.
If you really want to use the dynamic tile generation though you'll need to carefully think about your server-side hardware if you want to support any significant number of users. I work in a team that has a deployed a dynamic tile solution for 500+ internal users and a large set of data. We quickly found we needed to pre-generate a lot of the tiles to get suitable performance. Greg - I encourage you to jump into the spatial world. It's lots of fun and you immediately start seeing all the ways you could be presenting data to users spatially - which is often a great option for the user. Of course you then are in complete disbelief when data ISN'T presented spatially... tonight I'm specifically thinking about live QLD election results on a map.
