On Microsoft's Increased Sponsorship of FIRST // Was: Microsoft Regional

[jacob07]

Nice job starting a war Pavan :-} As M. Krass said who would think that the day would come that some of the FIRST community would attack a organization trying to help FIRST. Who says that they are in it for financial gain. Maybe they are trying to help just like GM, FORD, Delphi, NASA, and all the other sponsors are helping. Trying to spread the word of FIRST to high school student, to get them interested in Science, Math, and Technology. True some of Microsoft's products haven't been the best, but isn't that true for most company's? They may have had made some mistakes in the past but, guess what people, that is in the past. They are trying to move forward and better themselves. What a way to do it, to HELP FIRST. They are making it possible for teams in the North West of the United States to have a close regional they can compete in without spending lots of money to travel and compete. We need to put our differences about Microsoft as an a bad thing, maybe they are but maybe they are not, and look at it as they are trying to help high school students. Not everything in this world is about money.
