Apparently in Maya 8, Alias have bought the rights of Max or something and now Maya 8 is intergrated with the new Max. Like i said maybe i read it wrong.
But judging from posts ive seen, alot of ppl arent happy with the layout.

Yeah, think you got the wrong end of the stick. Since Alias were taken over by autodesk (max's owners) then they couldent have bought the rights to Max as they no longer exist.
The only thing that I know of is that Maya 8 now can export/import in a Autodesk format that Max can also import/export, in other words the scene files (in this autodesk format) can be used in either max or maya without a third party plug in.
If you have a look in Autodesks website it goes into depth about whats changed, new mental ray core, the Autodesk file format being available, and I think some aditional UV mapping tools.
Alas I'm still on version 6, if I was on version 7 I dont think I would upgrade though as the new features wouldent warrent spending the money, IMHO.
