I have to ask.... Are you saying that AD doesn't know the value of ICE added to Softimage, or they don't know the value of ICE being added to another one of their products?
If it is the later, then I would not be interested in helping AD with their product development. They have already said, over and over, that Softimage is EOL. I think we are beating a dead horse. If they don't know the value of what they killed, then so be it.
