The main reason why chips are late getting out to the masses is that top-level customers soak up all the supply for a while. It's not because of all the drama that you mention.

GCC is an incredibly versatile compiler, with frontends for C, C++, Java, Ada and Fortran provided with the basic install. 3rd party extensions include (but are probably not limited to) Pascal, D, PL/I(!!) and I'm pretty sure there are Cobol frontends, too.
The list of other front ends for GCC also include Cobol, Mercury, Modula-2, FLIM, Shakespeare, and GHDL. Note that all are in different states of development.

IIRC, from reading the gcc list, is that it's more likely that ObjC++ will be in 4.1 than in 4.0. Go read the gcc list archives for all the gory details.
According to the GCC Development Plan, the 4.0 branch was cut on Feb. 25. On the gcc list, they were talking about making a release appox. 3 months after that (IIRC), but it all depends on how the bug fixing goes.
The bigger issue that comes up of this accountability issue is around this notion of indemnification and protection. This notion of "Hey, I can tell any one of my customers, if there's any issue from an IT perspective, you know, patent, copyright, trade secrets..." Microsoft fully takes care of you and we extended all the way down to any end user where that wasn't a part of our normal EULA. As of November we made that change as well - EULA being in the End User Licensing Agreement.
Oh sure, Microsoft is now going to take care of you with regards to patent issues.
Meanwhile, they're still trying to patent everything in sight, and they'll still try and smash the (Linux) competition with patents.
And he says he wants everybody to stop being so visceral about the FUD thing.
Who cares about the TCO question, when they're still pursuing their same old tactics.
Check out the bio of the PTC President where he openly admits his "conservative" bias and has a couple of more links to other groups he has formed.
More to be slashdotted....
Well, it basically works like an RDIF, but its only one bit (checked in or checked out) not 256 bits.
No, it doesn't work like an RFID tag. An RFID tag is an ASIC containing a memory and an antenna, that's either battery powered or inductively powered, then encapsulated.
STFW.

Why is a book about an MS IDE relevant in the Open Source age of Eclipse?
FYI: These modules uses Freescale's Zigbee chips according to Freescale's press release.

You just answered your own question (why they need a cpu).
"They mention a future revision doing interpretation of the open/closed/encrypted state of the WiFi node".
Sounds like they'll need a cpu to do that, unless you think they can do that just with an analog comparator chip.

RFID Journal FAQ
A metal strip does not identify anything.
If anybody wants to do something constructive, then help "hack" on the open source RFID C library on Savannah.
Yeah, that's all they are: tiny strips of metal. Not RFID transponders. Do some research.
