Chris, I think most here are actually desperate to hear about your plan — not objectives or goals, but the specifics and timing of a plan to move this thing forward. You probably understand that the overwhelming feeling here is that we re being forced to take a giant step backward in many ways, and that we have no clear idea as to how many years it might take just to get back to our original point of departure. Adding capabilities to Maya is fine, but the greater concern here is building upon what Perry Harovas' letter aptly describes as an aging, inferior foundation.
Anyway, more communication from Autodesk is needed right now. This is truly a disorienting moment, and I find it difficult to accept that AD would have made the EOL announcement without a coherent plan to communicate a vision to the Soft userbase, regardless of its size. Please. Tell us more.
