Subject: A new chess program on the horizon?

I heard it through the grapevine that Microsoft is working on a chess program.

Nothing like Deep Blue, but something to rival Chessmaster, and I am guessing,
Chessbase.

With the money, resources, and brains at Microsoft, I think they have the
ability to make one of the best chess programs on the market.  They could afford
to get the best GM's and use some of the best programmers in the world.

I was curious on what the thoughts of this forum is, on such an idea.  I know
most people here don't like Microsoft, but please keep in mind I am asking for
your input on a Microsoft chess program, not their business ethics.
