Although I hope and pray for the return of what was once a competitive
market, I can't imagine AD selling a piece of software that might
become competitive to it's own products again.
It'd tie up it's adopted child in a sack and throw it off a bridge
first I imagine.

Agree, AD should sell back Softimage to some serious developper company.
After all, SI is just a pluggin on their website.

but from a user's viewpoint it seems like they let go some people who
were more valuable than they could possibly imagine. I am very sorry
to hear about this.
