-xsi is ages ahead of maya as of 7.0
- i can count on one hand the amount of time xsi crashed on my machine using it for the past 2 years
- you can remap the maximize viewport to any button you want.
-you can download the 30 day tril of xsi 7.0 essential with full functionality ,instead of mod tools.
- your machine has display issues...

take a look at the new xsi features... watch some of the videos, if they dont help you decide to make the "switch" then stick with maya and keep pulling your hair out.

here to see some vids of things possible with the new ice env. show me if maya is close to this...
im a rigger/modeler/junior animator,
ice has helped my rigging 10 folds so far.
every thing is multi-threaded... new sdk, new better tools, dare i say "next gen" tools..
i think xsi has set the bar with this release. now everyone else will be playing catch up.
