That could mean that it's made by Digital Research.

Also, I don't think Microsoft could ever produce such a complex AI without at least a few BSOD's and security vurnabilities.

major design flaws in its cranial cavity proved fatal many times, due to lack of shock dampers protecting the CPU. If struck square in the head, it could result in data loss or corruption, many times due to loss of programming, the machines would gain a form of autonomy, or would serve the first person to claim to be a "Skynet"
