This is *NOT* *NOT* *NOT* going to happen.

If MS DOES decide it's going to release "..the world's strongest chess
program.." they *CANNOT * buy one!

It's like IBM coming out and saying, "..we are going to beat Kasparov with this
chess program we just bought.."

YOU CANNOT DO THAT!  YOU HAVE TO CREATE IT YOURSELF!

If there is even a SLIGHT chance someone will figure out this program is
actually someone elses, it will kill ALL the hype.  That's not something MS is
going to risk.
