I believe this is the reason. And I agree with Bharat's assessment wondering why FIRST would change the name if changing to another kit was not eminent.

It's generally is a negative type of conotation within the context of frustration.

Have any of you noticed that FIRST and Microsoft are partnering for the 2008 season(1)(2)? BUT if many of you didn't know Microsoft has its own little robotics program called Microsoft Robotics Studio(3)? Now I don't know if I'm crazy or doing some math wrong but, Microsoft is HUGE and has the potential to invest a TON of money into the FIRST programs. Now for me, FIRST + Microsoft = A new tree of ideas, parts, and people = Smaller companies (IFI) will be kicked out.

Uggg... That's a horrible idea. Microsoft Robotics Studio is a great looking program but it's just way to complicated for FIRST. You would have to give out computers to every single team because it requires a computer to run the robot. It's just so much easier to use an embedded processor.
