Getting finished with the software & licensed stuff i can understand, If software companies want Lego games, they could pay Lego for a license fee. I hate to see SW & HP go, ‘cause they’re are cool, but if it’s hurting Lego now, move on. Getting rid of mindstorms, tho’ I totally do NOT understand; I don’t even have MS, but even I can see its tremendous value to play & learning. As far as I can understand, they are an in-house Lego theme, and they rvolutionized learning & playing combinations, and made the robotic field highly assessible to kids, not just “that’s-cool-but-i-could-never-do-it.” MS probably upped the egineering/computing/logistics skills of (probably) MILLIONS of people. keeping MS could be a way Lego gives back to the community, AND, I would go as far to say that businesses worldwide should support/give breaks to the Lego Co. for the fringe benefit that Lego’s learning-play toys have gotten millions of kids ready for job positions.
