Yes, MS is doing this, because it's in thier best interests. Who here, doesn't do things in their best interests?
This is the next revolution in the game industry. The last time developers were allowed easier access into console development, was when sony granted licenses to anyone and everyone that would pay for their dev kit, which was one of the cheapest on the markets at the time (oringinal ps).
As for no c++ support, who cares? Many games are programmed in only C. I personally like to mix C and C++, but, if I had to only use C, it wouldn't bother me. I just can't wait to get my hands on one of these kits, and grab me some garage games libs, and have some fun. 99 dollars is a bargain to be able to develop for a console.
