Microsoft and Robotics

I just found out that Microsoft has released a new tool that would help control robots. I looked over the Channel9 video and I was AMASED. This is too good to be true..I think that controling robots through a nice programming language like C#/VB.net will help improve the way robots "Think" today :)...I didn`t get a change to play with the simulation studio but...from what I`ve seen it looks nice...good work..
