Lets say I have a pretty good record at reading the Tea leaves.... The thing is they CANT tell us .... even if they wanted to. There are some smart and not so smart folks up at AD.... but after trying to add to the maya code base for all this time I am pretty sure that they know it's busting at the seams as we do... if not more. If making a new product lets them be able to create new competitive tech more quickly and less expensively they would be silly not to invest in a new platform.

How does completely new app that requires couple years of investment before gaining any profit fits AD profile??? It doesn't. They are killing Si even if it makes any profit at all, making new application that wouldn't give anything back for years.. hardly AD way.
