Autodesk's Alias aquisition

A few of my friends at Alias have been talking to me about the recent big news regarding Autodesk purchasing Alias. I don't feel it's appropriate to share personal comments here but I will point anyone interested in this to the following interview website on HighEnd 3D. Pretty good article here describing how Autodesk plans to continue both the 3D Studio MAX and the Maya development efforts rather than combining the two packages into one "super package." This is a relief for a lot of people as the article describes and I think it is a good decision for Autodesk to make since (as the article mentions as well), 3D Studio MAX and Maya serve different purposes in the marketplace at the moment and it doesn't make sense (at least at the moment) to combine them into one product.
