well, always sad to see people losing theire jobs, but microsoft also bought softimage and sold it a short while later - softimage is doing great, salewise and featurewise. don't get me wrong, but if truespace would be a product that would have a chance to survive in todays 3d world, they could sell it too, but i wonder what truespace developers did all the years, you don't see any progress in the last 10 years. 3d software world is nothing which allows lazyness.
