Thanks Bill!]]>Dec 13th 2006 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/Dec 13th 2006 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/
Having a single, unified, environment to program, regardless of hardware, makes life much easier for those in this field of work.

And, while you may hate Microsoft, try using one-off type software designed by a company that is not really a software company! And paying $3,000 to $5,000 per copy. My company can routinely pay over $50,000 a year on software and upgrades, just to have the privilege of using THEIR hardware.

Remember that this myth that whatever MS touches crashes blah blah is just rubbish; remember why there are so many viruses for MS, because of its userbase.. As apple gains, then viruses will emerge for them also; in fact there already has been some. Any viruses found in xBox's yet or on Live or Zune..?

Anyway, back to this subject - it seems that MS is certainly looking at things at new angles what with their video game studio setup and now this.. looks more like fun than a serious application at this stage though, and it's free which is always nice.]]>Dec 13th 2006 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/Dec 13th 2006 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/
It's a sad attempt for Microsoft to try to take over the open standard of TCP/IP and bastardize it to make money on licensing, just like DirectX (OpenGL), .NET (Java), MSSQL and more.]]>Dec 13th 2006 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/
You truly are one of the many idiots I have the displeasure of coming accross day-to-day.

Your argument is pathetic with no basis.

As for the art, This is great news and hopefully there should be some great inovation show up in the furture.]]>Dec 13th 2006 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/Dec 13th 2006 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/
It has become a fad or trend to mock Microsoft (and the President of the United States)

The stuff about Microsoft trying to take over TCP/IP made me laugh my ass off! I'm still laughing as I'm writing this. oh my]]>Dec 13th 2006 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/
I would really welcome an attempt at a standard from a big gun like MS. I find Visual Studio to genuinely boost productivity over a simpler option like Textpad, and I don't have another 4 years to devote to getting an advanced degree in Emacs. The Visual Studio suite works for novices, and has enough power to sustain large projects too. I don't want to sound like a fanboy -- I'm not -- but as long as this stays free for hobbyists, I think it will really be a net force for good.]]>Dec 13th 2006 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/
Sure they are creating software, but is it necessary? If they can do it well, then I give them props for that. And I guess they have some companies interested in it. I guess I'm somewhat skeptical.]]>Dec 13th 2006 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/
http://www.gorobotics.net/The-News/Latest-News/Microsoft-Releases-Robotics-Studio/]]>Dec 14th 2006 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/13/microsoft-busting-onto-robotics-scene-with-robotics-studio/Wow, so now Bill Gates wants to be Nolan Bushnell with this robotics fascination. How 1985 of him! :)

I wonder how Gates would do as President. With his wealth, I'm surprised he hasn't given it serious consideration...considering how much Bloomberg blew on becoming the mayor of NYC.

Its not a motive to be Nolan Bushnell; he simply saw that episode of *The Simpsons* where in the future, iPods ruled humans. And in response, Gates has decided that he will personally make sure that it won't be iPods herding our offspring like cattle, but gigantic Zunes instead. Wait...not a lot of new design to go into that since the Zunes are already gigantic!
