When Lego announced their signing a deal with Microsoft to cooperate on software
products, several people on this list wrote to Lego asking about that. I was
told that they ONLY intend to use M$ technology in their computer games - Mindstorms
was not a part of that deal.
(Did anyone else hear the story on NPR today about the BILLIONS of Lego bricks
that are floating around in mid-Atlantic after falling off the side of a container
vessel? Anyone up to a salvage mission! :-) They estimate it may be 10 to 20 years
before they eventually start washing onto beaches).
