it's somewhat ironic that the company that shunned disceet's guerilla tactics-allowing pirating of their software along with bargan basement pricing to create a vast user base, is now being purchased by them. it goes to show that volume is worth more when it comes to software companies.

speaking of, has autodesk made autocad for mac yet?

the geeks who use autocad don't use macs

i use autocad and use a mac...i heard that they were releasing it for mac, but have not heard much of it. i take it they are not, since it would sell five copies.

all this monopolizing is sad, in general it slows down product innovations and they can fire people again. Oh well i guess i shouldn't complain when a few years back Autodesk still wasn't sure what to do with discreet ,even rumours of selling it to Apple. So finally a 3dsmax on mac with maya's framework.
This won't change anything to Autocad though. But just install windows on an intel mac in a year. I only touch it for type design these days.
