Quickbot is a Windows Live Agent, that will come in handy if you want some entertainment when you get bored. You can talk to it about anything, have it tell you jokes or quotes, play games, and perform many other useful tasks (translations, news, sports results, spell checks, ASCII art and so on).
It is been a 1 year since Quickbot has been announced to public, and after this period of time majority of things changed, many functions added, and it became even more intelligent and quick than it was before!
