I still think the same thing - if Microsoft is developing a controller system and it gets used in 2009, good. FIRST wants to hit the mainstream in a big way, teaming up with one of the biggest tech companies in the world seems like a great way to do it. I love it how everyone is freaking out that they're sponsoring a robotics regional now. This is a GOOD thing that FIRST has gained the interest of Microsoft. And with as much Microsoft hate as there is in FIRST, I don't foresee them having any sort of monopoly within FIRST anytime soon. Unless we use a system made by them in 2009, but then where were the people crying out about IFI?
I'm sick of the Microsoft hate here, this is a good thing regardless of how you try and spin it.
