I read this last night from 3DTotal. I wonder what's up with all the
mergers going on right now; Adobe gets Macromedia, Autodesk(formerly
Discret) gets Alias, Corel buys the Paint Shop software, and Microsoft
acquires even more companies (specifically game companies).
According to what I read, this is Autodesk's 17th acquistion. Question
is now, what do they plan to do with Wavefront and Maya? I doubt they
will continue these products which costs less than their flagship
product, although, I think they will incorporate some of the
technology into Max.
And unlike Lightwave and SoftImage (XSI), Autodesk has not been
decreasing their price to expand their markets. So does that mean that
AutoDesk will be looking into those applications/companies as well?
