Microsoft programming language for children

Hi,

about half a year ago I read about a programming language from Microsoft which is easy to learn (also for kids) and which uses .NET. But unfortunately I am not able to find something about this language right now. The only thing I find is "Boku" from Microsoft, but I am pretty sure this is not the language I read about. I hope someone here can tell me the name of that language.

A: 

Are you thinking of Kodu?

I have a 4 year old who's also interested in what's available. On the Alice website ( http://alice.org interesting on it's own account) they mention Kodu. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/kodu/
