I have no doubt that Yost/Autodesk will make a fully cross platform, multithreaded 3DS. The recompile for different processors isn't as hairy as it sounds. It is only the optimizing of one file for each processor. I'd say it'd add, at the utterly most, a couple weeks to get running versions on all platforms. MS says it's only like 2 days work.. I bet it's already done. Beta testing will be something of a hassle though. I suspect the Alpha will be the processor of choice for 3DS'ers. Who makes your 4 processor Alpha? Do you know? I haven't heard of anything like that before. I assume it's running Unix right now, right? JNJ
