According to Mr. Jeremy Hubbel [Adesk], the initially shipping version of AAStudio will not run under NT, due to problems with the differences in MM handling between Win3.11 and NT. And, of course, there will be no comments forthcoming from Adesk about whether they intend to make an NT compatible version. However, it seems reasonable to assume that they will. What doesn't seem AS reasonable, though, is that they expect you to jump back and forth between two operating systems (ie re-boot) in order to go from using 3DS to AAS and back — though that'll be the case for those continuing to use AAP, anyway… so why am I griping? I guess because it seems that in a cohesive strategy, one would want all new products to be able to mesh (no pun intended) with the least possible effort, and while one would expect difficulties with continuing to use older apps, that shouldn't be the case with new ones.
