Oh, that's good. The educational side of this debacle was perhaps
handled the worst.

Hi David,
I had a Skype call today from a chap from autodesk where it was
confirmed from the feedback they have received, the free student
versions shall be offered for another year (timeframe - iirc it was a
year) to aid migration of the education community.
I have certainly found this useful in our plans

Yet I'm sure that a number of positive silver linings would come
out of this in coming versions of Maya,

Nad Center in Montreal is also hit pretty hard..(among many)
The thought of where XSI7 was heading,
in that sense I can undestand what may have motivated the
measures taken in consequence.
Typical sentiment in Area Forum back then

gaining a lot of ground in the development arena,
is Autodesk actually taking a hard look at Maya
and making it more stable while providing new features?
The underlying theme I get from people on forums is if Maya
2009 doesn't deliver
or Autodesk doesn't lay out some sort of roadmap worthy of
sticking around,
people will in fact jump to XSI or Houdini./
Makes me wonder where XSI would be today, had it not been subject
to Laws of the Jungle.
I'm sure Maya would have been very much (if not more) alive &
well... as well..
(having more reasons to keep-up)

Hello! We will begin to remove Softimage assignment options,
unfortunately, as it appears the students will no longer be able
to download a student version, and we would be unwise to promote
it for their sakes.
We will continue to offer our more advanced rigs in Softimage to
the animation students who may already have it, and our free,
public rigs as well.
I will continue to show Softimage's amazing capabilities to our
students in my extra help sessions with the students.
Thanks for the compliment!
