animation layers appears to be really really useful
maya just needs a button that saves multiple camera positions now, instead of us having to keyframe them
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

well I'm definitely looking forward to this version the uv editor has just gotten better, I'll buy it just for that!
Jay
You said it man, that new UV editor is the bomb. I wish earlier versions had that. You would have thought that they would have focused on that years ago.

The animation layer s might be a bit of a let down, the main advantage of MB is its in real time where as maya...

The selection based on the camera looks good too. Be nice to quickly drag select without selecting backfaces/edges/verts, so you don't need to jump between having backface culling on and off.

I dunno where or why people say this, crashing in maya is a rare thing for me, I guess Im just patient while it works its 'thang' either that or my machine is stable enough to hack what I throw at it.

Just position your camera anywhere, then,
in any Viewport, go to View > Bookmarks, Edit Bookmarks
Then simply choose New Bookmark
Anyhoo, I'm eager to get my hands on nParticles as it's now part of the Nucleus framework yay!

Neucleus very very cool stuff based off something really really simple! Solving a spring, hence a circle not using pi.

hmmm, well, i think the only time maya would crash on me is when i moved windows around between monitors (like the hypergraph/shade and render window) and if i ran out of RAM because i have xp, photoshop, msn with about 5-12 chat windows, IE and Firefox open with about 4-12 tabs open as well...
the only time it crashes for me on my pc is when i maximise the window... although it does that for other apps too. but it can't be Maya's fault because i get a balloon saying my display driver crashed and just recovered.... i imagine it's a fault with ATI
