Welcome to Microsoft® Agent
Microsoft has decided to discontinue
development of Microsoft Agent technologies. Beginning with Windows® 7,
Microsoft Agent will not be included or supported in future versions of
the Microsoft Windows operating system. We encourage Microsoft Agent
application developers and redistributors to evaluate their activities
in light of this decision.
- Developers can still use the following resources for previous versions of Windows:
- Microsoft will not offer new licenses or renewals
- Microsoft will not update the Microsoft Agent components, including:
- The “msagent.exe” runtime and libraries
- The characters Merlin, Genie, Peedy, and Robbo
- The Agent Character Editor
- All related Microsoft Agent software, tools, and documentation
- Windows 7 and later versions will not support development of Microsoft Agent applications or characters
- Microsoft resources will not be available to assist customers in
the investigation or resolution of issues for new or existing
deployments.
- Comments about Microsoft Agent and related technologies can be posted on the public newsgroup microsoft.public.msagent.
