If this machine is already so good, why doesn't IBM offer a system based on it? (honest question, not suggesting it's not good) It could decimate library research work, or legal research, by providing high-quality suggestions for simple phrases.
They are planning on doing just that. They'll be selling Watson-type QA machines to business for a few million dollars, starting this summer I think. I'm not 100% sure about the price and timeline, but they're definitely planning on making a product out of this.
