In offering Watson as a free download on the companyÂ's website, Intellext isresponding to the strong consumer demand it heard following the September 2005announcement of Watson 2.0Â's availability as an MSN Search Toolbar with WindowsDesktop Search Add-In. Before today, only business users willing to pay for thelicensed version were able to put Watson to work. With this wider release, thecompany is set to challenge the traditional thinking that you need a search box tofind information. To Watson, the search box becomes nothing more than a middle manbetween you and the information you need. The tool understands the context of what acomputer user is working on and actively finds relevant search results from Websearch engines, desktop search applications, news sites and more.
 We see users demanding more from the technology they use. When it comes to search,Watson delivers on this in a way other technologies canÂ't, by anticipating whatusers need before they ask for it, said Al Wasserberger, CEO of Intellext.  We wanteveryone to have access to this, and with this new free version of Watson, everyonecan.Â
The free version is designed to give consumers a complete experience, connectingthem with the information they need most, from a powerful shopping comparisonfeature, to the web, news and blogs. Watson Professional, the licensed version ofthe product, remains available for business users who want to take the productÂ'scapabilities to the next level, customizing and integrating Watson to search theirsubscription sources and enterprise information systems.
With its shopping feature, the product moves beyond business and research use andbecomes the perfect holiday e-commerce helper for consumers looking to compare giftinformation. Watson recognizes when a user is shopping online, and takes the burdenof looking up prices and finding product reviews off their shoulders. The  Shopping tab that appears in the productÂ's self-refreshing sidebar automatically finds anddisplays current eBay and Amazon listings, including eBayÂ's  Buy it Now opportunities, for items similar to what the shopper is looking at on the Internet.
In both the free Watson and the licensed Watson Professional, user privacy isrespected. Intellext does not receive information about what the user is looking at,and does not track the links clicked, or the pages viewed. So, personal informationnever leaves the userÂ's computer and privacy is completely protected.
