I expect maya will be spliced seamlessly into the max interface, becoming a drop down menu 3 times the length of the screen containing every maya command.

possibly the best max plugin yet.

In any case it seems to be bad for the industry in the short term,
stifling innovation in both the MAX as well as Maya camps (so nothing
changes really ;-), but could be good in the long run if they actually
DO come up with a killer app. We might not like using both MAX and Maya
but there's no mistaking that they've got some very talented developers
and a lot experience and knowledge on board. Given the time and
resources, they could build a killer app which in turn whould only spur
innovation and competition. If that happens, in the long run this could
be a Good Thing (tm).

My $0.02 anyway,
