Got this similar notice in my email today too.

This is SOOO bad.

I'm going on record right now saying that if Apple ends up being the one to buy Alias, I'm gone from Maya for good.

Jobs has RAPED enough quality software for my taste.

Sorry if this offends anyone, but if you've ever tried to call AppleCare for publicised software support for a proggy they bought that was originaly a pc-majority software, then have them LAUGH at you over the phone because of it, that is just wrong.
It happened to me personaly, and ask Kevin, I HATE Apple because of that and for other things, Apple has screwed themselves out of a BUTTLOAD of marketshare because of crap like that.


Anyhoo...
