With MAX help for example you can learn this soft, without books or tutors, everything included

Just I think Alias try to make more money creating a “bad” help and if you want you can buy DVD, books and so on and so on.

And (al least for me) maya is more simple 'cause it has categorize (all buttons for animation are under one categorie, so as modelling and other and and use can easily switch between them.
So, to shoten it up, I really don't thing max help is better at all, it's just that if you have perhabs worked with max, it is got used to it and it's a little harder to learn maya.
There are just my thoughts. user added image

On your question on why PLE is free, PLE has restrictions such as watermarks and other limitations.

I've found some basic guides in mayas help file. The help files just explain cirtain elements of the software. Dont expect the help files to teach you. If you want tutorials, Sm the right place.

Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

But descreet making money by different way: you must purchase plug-in for MAX to normally work in this soft.
And Maya is really most powerful 3d soft ever.
