Yep, I agree. Considering the rather slow pace at which Autodesk develops new things (note that I do not count "buy outs" as developing new things) XSI will last at least another 5 years if development should come to a stop. I mean, I still work with SI 2012 SAP, which is now three years old, and frankly I do not miss anything.

The irony is (provided they kill it) I won't be putting my money into Autodesk if I can avoid it. My only fear is The Foundry being sold to Autodesk but I am confident anti monopoly laws would stop such a deal. Jb
