"Encarta Instant Answers"

I came across this the other day, visiting some of the Microsoft Vista sites, so I don't know if you need a beta version of Messenger or not, but if you use MSN messenger you should be able to add " encarta@botmetro.net" to your buddy list. If you send this bot a message, you will be able to search and get basic encyclopedia information over messenger. If you ask it something with any depth it will try to launch Encarta on your machine though (works well with gaim on linux, not). Might be handy, so give it a try.
