http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-6143282.html article on microsoft providing robotic software tht is usable with mindstorm, and irobot's roomba, too.

Some quotes from the article: "The software is free for hobbyists or researchers, but companies aiming to profit from its use must license a commercial version for $399."
"On Wednesday, Microsoft also plans to unveil a third-party partner program encouraging software and device makers to support its technology. The Redmond, Wash.-based company already has 30 companies supporting its software, including iRobot, fischertechnik, Parallax and RoboDynamics."
"In addition, Microsoft said it will sponsor RoboCup 2007, an international robotics competition scheduled for July at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta."
