Which brings me to my point. TLG has a golden opportunity to capitalize
on the dedication of the legOS developers and even release an "advanced"
product - although the support might be a bit hairy. I can't see teaching
university level real-time programming with the Mindstorms interface, but
a professor could use the RIS and legOS as a great intro to realtime with
not too much trouble.

Hmmmm - is anybody thinking the same kind of thoughts......

Hi,
     I have been thinking this.  It seems like an official Lego release of
the legOS system would be quite beneficial to TLG, especially since I read
in the wired.com article that around 50% of the MS sales goes to adult
men.
     In response to another comment, I will ask this question:  What is
the likelihood of an RCX clone?
