Oh yeah, we're doing it in our spare time. The Amiga port is right around the corner too! You really think, that with the competition with SoftImage we'd withold an NT product release? Right, and I've got a bridge for sale, too.

The NT renderer port makes a lot of sense as many A|W customers believe they can put together NT render farms cheaply -- so NT rendering becomes a RFQ checklist requirement. Whether the NT farms will **really** be cost effective compared to O200's, Octanes, O2's will be interesting to see. Hmmm, rendering frames without ECC memory, without decent RPC/clustering, and with platform stability problems seems fraught with hidden costs to me.

(Speaking for myself and not my employer).
