Yeah, but we'll be able to create and render by thinking at a computer mounted on a single flat sheet of glass held in the air by magnetic fields...from your office at home with megagigabit speed connections to work...ahhhh... Hopefully the strengths of Bryce (a fun interface, powerful features if you want them but that aren't shoved in your face) and Poser (the ultimate people-tool) will continue, with improvements for things like smoke and fire, vegetation and other hard-to-model natural phenomena, and better and better animation. Probably behind-the-scenes stuff like better raytracing, caustics, refraction and internal reflections, lighting. And who knows - maybe they'll actually let us model things in Bryce AND EXPORT THEM!! mumble grumble. Good thread, red! May the Force be with you.
