well, i don't know the exact thing about it, but here in belgium they had to close the support office for europe because they hadn't enough cash to keep the office in london open. Also, sgi, one of the companies who has a lot of shares in A/W, is headed for a negative business number, or how do you call that thing.

Also, they slashed their prizes recently , and if they wanted to have the same business number as last year, the sales should rise with 400%, and i don't think maya has been sold that much this year...

But as mtmckinley said, it will never disappaer, but i know already one company who would get their hands on maya, and that's apple, who recently bought shake or another big compositing app.
