Thanks for that,

I must admit I got the impression that Autodesk rushed it out to get their name on it. Personally (with the little experience I have) I would have settled down and got used to everything before rushing out a new version of the software. I have no dount as to the competance of Autodesk - but it did come out a bit fast.

My other concern would be the System Requirements. If I can run Maya 7 no problems, how will my PC go dealign with Maya 8.
