Talk:Microsoft Agent

message: Hello, I am a big fan of Microsoft Agents and I was turning all Office Assistants and Search Assistants into Agents like Merlin when I discovered an unknown agent character file in my computer, I copied it I pasted in Chars, so I can see it now on MASH. It is the question mark of Help and the name of its file is qmark. It is in System32/Oobe/Images. It has movement and actions like the other agents. If you search for all Microsoft Agent Character Files, you will find it (Windows XP)I am logged out know, but my account is Jomiarias, if you have something to tell me about this, write to jomiarias@yahoo.es.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.28.90.161 (talk) 15:30, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember first seeing Agent at Comdex 1998 in Chicago (or maybe it was 99). I spent a lot of time programming and working with it. Ultimately I think it failed because it was very complicated to program and it required people to install it on their machines in order for it to work in Officer files. Eric Cable  !  Talk  14:39, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  bad link? 

message: I understand that links should not be added to promote a product.  Clearly it could be argued that the link to "Planetvixen third party A.I program" has no place on Wikipedia since it serves no purpose except to promote a product.  On the other hand the link to "Sunfire's Microsoft Agent Pages" is clearly a personal site (which seems to serve no purpose other than to promote a product) This argument doesn't even take into consideration the image of the Cynthia 3.0 A.I. Bot (which seems to have little or no relationship to Agent technology).  
Our site at http://www.pippin.us has a UNIQUE, fully functional script unlike any other on the Internet which can also be FREELY copy and pasted to other websites.  All things considered, I would sumerize the content on our site to be just as useful and any other for those that wish to learn more about the Microsoft Agent technology. We teach by example.  Based on your explanation to why our site isn't included leads me to think that none of the websites you currently list should be included. 
Ananova is a Web-oriented news service that originally featured a computer-simulated animation of a woman newscaster, named "Ananova," who had been programmed to "read" newscasts to Web users. The full page article at wikipedia reads that the animated Ananova character has been unavailable since sometime in 2004.  Our website does it equally as well and our Microsoft Agent character is still reading newscast to web surfers freely after all these years.  Does this mean the individual who thinks a simple link on the Microsoft agent page to our website is not appropriate is in process of writing up an entire page devoted to our little newscaster at http://www.pippin.us? - BruceCPippin 03:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  A rejected link 

message: I removed this paragraph, since it made no sense, and the link it referred to (http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=w061030&s=risen103106), is dead.It read:
:Microsoft Agent's restrictive license has been criticized. It forbids, most notably, users of this program to publish anything that might say.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asav (talk • contribs) 05:43, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

This is to let you know that the link in the External links section is no good. It leads to nowhere.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.50.216.103 (talk) 11:31, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
