If successful it will mark the first time Microsoft has had any intelligences once so ever.

The first attempt didn't work so good.

Windows Skynet Edition The Terminator: The SkyNet funding bill is passed. The system goes online on August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. SkyNet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14am Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
Sarah Connor: And, Skynet fights back.
The Terminator: Fortunately for the human race, Skynet had a Blue Screen of Death by 2:56 am Eastern time and humanity was able to shut it down.

"If successful it will mark the first time Microsoft has had any intelligences once so ever."
Agreed. if profitable, it will represent their second profitable product (Windows being the first) after an unbroken string of failures. Microsoft is a Utility. They administer the Windows product which is a monopoly. Utilities cannot compete in the marketplace. Ever. Microsoft knows this, but they have to pretend they don't, to deny their basic function as a utility---which is fundamentally illegal. Fortunately for Microsoft, they are so rich they can literally waste billions of dollars on products like Xbox and their stupid operating system for handheld phones without ever achieving a profit.

Carnegie Melon is the associated agricultural school. The first project is a self-aware cantaloupe harvester.

Artificial intelligence?
Heck, I'd settle for almost-regular-intelligence from Microsoft.

This could give a whole new meaning to the phrase Blue Screen of Death. It's easy to foresee a Microsoft robot running amok and killing everybody in the house.

Great! This is just what the world needs... a bunch of MS powered robots that go berzerk randomly after 5 minutes to several hours of use.

First I thought this was a Scrappleface headline!
Maybe Micro$oft can just go for "Intelligence" of any kind first!

I would imagine they would take any kind of intelligence they could get!
