Bloody TROLL - go back to your hole!
Given M$ track record of providing shobby and insecure software, robots equiped with this software will endanger the people and environment.
If you care about safety you should use Linux and OSS.

Did you even BOTHER reading the article before posting such inflamatory FUD?

This robotic's studio is only compatible with robotic devices such as the Roomba, Lego MindStorms Tribot and a few others. Even if your utterly insane idea were remotely close to the truth, exactly HOW MUCH HAVOC could a vaccuum cleaner and a child's toy cause?

Somehow I just do NOT see a Roomba mixed with commands from MS Robotic's studio suddenly turning into an assassin droid, the likes of which were seen in say, the Star Wars movie franchise, blasting it's owners to bits before hitting the streets to eradicate mankind.

Give your fanaticism a rest. And besides, is there even a comparable product available for Linux? Didn't think so.
