"we are developing training materials to facilitate the transition"
That's going to be a joke. These videos are going to be the ultimate testament to all the things that are harder to do in Maya. "historically, the introduction of Maya and of XSI were disruptive events requiring retraining and adaptation and it is unlikely these will be the last" How the hell were the introduction of Maya and XSI disruptive? No one yanked a previous and superior program away in order to "disrupt" us with XSI or Maya. They were just better programs that people naturally migrated to. Simple evolution. It's all just freakin' sales crap to try and smooth things over. AD should just come clean and say they know they fucked up people's livelyhood because of simple cold business decisions, at least they wouldn't be lying at that point. Then, if they really were sorry and truly understood what they are killing, they could actually consider doing the right thing and let XSI go live on somewhere else, and then try to compete with it, if they truly stand behind their own words, that healty competition is a good thing. It's all fucking disrespectful.
