Yeah it's kinda stupid considering 1280x1024 isn't even the correct aspect ration for 99% of monitors...

It should be 1280x960 :p

I've heard that XSI is better... But it seems to me that Maya can do anything XSI can, and I already know (relativley)much about Maya spo no point switching... Not to mention ownign a copy of Maya :p

And yeah, you'll get a biased opinion from an Maya board :p
