It also will open up a whole new market for Innova’s patented software.

“It is really difficult to sell software by itself. The [Mesa] robotic vehicles [uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, nevermind] will be another method to deliver our expertise and software into a larger market and that is our number one goal,” Weisel said. “Anyone can make a robotic arm but if they are PC-controlled, they are going to have to come to us for the software license.”

the problem for me on this topic is that i just do not believe anything that comes out of this guy's mouth anymore. JMO.

you asked:

Q: "Has Microsoft ever acknowledged INRA?"

A: Yes.

i'm sorta surprised that an investor following this company for a year+ would even have to ask this question, especially as it is likely the single most compelling overall fundamental item. and btw, did you bother to review anything in the link i previously PMed you about Tandy Trower? in terms of MSFT and bots, he is Microsoft.

as for the healthcare sector research you request -- thanks but i'll pass. it underscores what i consider to be an identity crisis business model that weisel has blathered about, as in, everything to every bot, yet a glaring and pervasive absence of any honey in the pot.

the Ft Myers portion of this company is so completely screwed up IMO that it doesn't have the slightest idea what it wants to be, perhaps beyond that of serving as a means to a lifestyle end for a select few at the expense of the many. JMO.

btw, i definitely should have included David Hyams in my earlier list of Coro guys who should be considered viable board candidates, and fyi, TMC picked up yesterday's Coro PR: http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/-coroware-launches-infrastructure-optmization-service-help-small-mediu...
