Re: Microsoft Regional

I for one, do not like Microsoft. From day one they have copied others to build and inferior product. They continually put bad products on the market and expect the purchasers to trouble shoot and then charge them for the improvements. Microsoft's software is more prone to crashes than any other software that I know of. I really don't want controllers driving 140+ lb robots with software that is known to be problematic.

That said, if Microsoft is only sponsoring regionals and teams and does not have any major products involved that all teams must use, then I think that is a good thing. Money is hard to come by and unless it is against FIRST'S ideal then I have no issue with it.
