They've come up with quite a few 'revolutionary' pieces of software that they hyped to no believe, only to axe them again in their next major version.
Yet, for the foreseeable future, they'll support C# as well as Managed DirectX!
It wont be long before programmers leave the cradle of the XNA Game Studio application and tackle Managed DirectX head on in Visual Studio with a SDK.
Many programmers here have filled a lot of gaps in the native Blitz language for years, they leave the Blitz cradle and expand the language from the outside. Its all about rolling up your sleeves and 'just getting on with it'.
It all depends on how far me, you or anybody else wants to push themselves to make stuff happen. If someone pushes themselves to learn how to use the XNA Game Studio app, I'm in no doubt they'll push themselves further by using a DirectX SDK in Visual Studio.
