Hi, The reason, at a rough guess is that even MS think of Xp as a consumer OS, even the CEO is on record as saying that he wouldn't recommend a company that has committed to upgrade to W2K to change track to Xp mid stream, and since Maya is a heavy weight app, it's priorities are probably skewed towards backing up it's current user base first, (because if you think the software itself is expensive, you ought to see the yearly maintenance bill that comes with it...) With that kind of money at stake, you're not going to be rolling out your flagship app, to a platform most of your users aren't going to be installing anytime soon, especially if it takes manpower away from providing custom tweaks and plugins to paying customers. Like the man says, give it 6 months to a year. Do I consider Mp3's Warez? No, and we roll our own rather than download, it's quicker :) My point was "never say never" when it comes to the computer underground, because if a way can be found then they'll probably find it. A f'rinstance: I bet when the ipod gets a Linux port, you'll be able to download from as well as upload too. Unlike the native mac, and newly minted PC platforms, when you can only upload too, and delete from. Switching tack completely, I'm a Solaris admin for ESA you? later jb
