Stephen and Guillaume were inspiring Autodesk staff, and I feel certain I will 
continue to be inspired by them both in the future wherever life takes them.

Autodesk certainly hasn't impressed me with this move, or in general over the 
last few years. But despite my griping I'm still bullish on Softimage and have 
high hopes for the guys in Singapore. We'll see what comes, and if the software 
has legs to thrive despite foolish AD decision making. If not, as others point 
out there is a lot of potential competition brewing.

If I had to make a guess about the state of things 5-6 years from now I 
wouldn't be surprised if the majority of us weren't using multiple smaller 
packages as opposed to an all in one solution like we do now, perhaps custom 
tools made by TDs for each studio, using something like fabric. That's not a 
bad future to contemplate.
