Advantages: Too many to mention! Disadvantages: Bit fiddly, but worth it in the end!
This is just an overview or insight into the world of Microsoft Agent. Hopefully it won't bore you to tears! This is merely meant as a general informative review about the product, rather than the technical in depth how to install/setup sort of review (apart from a bit at the end). That might come later, depending on how this is received!!!!
