one would hope that readers of VFX World KNOW exactly the history and pedigree of a product like mental ray, no?

For crying out loud.  Autodesk Maya and Max combine for the heavy majority of the DCC marketshare.  Their mention in that context is simply to familiarize the reader with mental ray and how it fits within the industry, it's not a historical timeline of all it's milestones and accomplishments or a commercial endorsement.

...D: Let's start with mental images...
JB: They're known for [renderer] mental ray, which is pretty ubiquitous in any of the design applications. It's the renderer within Max and Maya; it's the renderer on the CAD side as well.So you get a lot of pretty pictures rendered with mental ray, which today is no longer 100% CPU based....

Well and if you consider that the article talks about the future of Mental Images? And they don't say anything about XSI?

Considering the article is not about Softimage, why do they have to mention it at all?
