I think this is fine list to bitch on.... Just do it in an official bitch thread . I was was pleasantly surprised to see soft being included in some promotions. Turning a thread which was meant for positive reinforcement for Autodesk into this constant the sky is falling thread is where I see the problem lies.
If you going to bitch, at least do what I did and make the title obvious. I was very happy to see the inclusion of Softimage in these presentations, thanks AD. Of course I wish they would show it is the power house all around DCC app that it is, but at least they're showing it. I don't expect Autodesk to declare us king, but I do expect to be treated fairly. That inclusion seem fair.
