What's happening with Maya?

Today, on my workplace, I finally got to install Maya2010 and see what new things it contained.

The answer: Basically nothing! All the changes are external from the actual software (Complete-version dead, Toxic and Matchmover included etc), but within Maya, almost nothing has changed.

So, what is happening? Is maya going the way of the Dodo?

I don't think so. I do think 2010 is a dissapointment, but I also think there is a reason for it. From what I've gathered on forums like CGTalk etc, it seems that a major overhaul of Maya is underway. For instance, the GUI-handler will be replaced by something that will be a bit faster, a lot more cross-plattform-able.

My own guess is that the Maya-developers are busy working on the new version, rather than adding things to the "old" platform. So, let's keep our fingers crossed for a nice and impressive release of Maya 2011.
