.NET in your Robot?

One of my fellow MVPs actually pointed me to new Robotics Studio launched by Microsoft. The press release talks about backing from LEGO and a few other robotics hardware vendors.

The nice thing seems to be that this allows you to use .NET to code for robots and thus extend your .NET skills to another area that has been C/C++/Assembly only for a long time. This is of course currently a CTP version. There are no indications on the actual time when this actually goes gold.
