Caligari's 3D software - "TrueSpace" is not long for this world.
I just got the email, and went to the website - there a "Letter From the Founder" - Looks like Microsoft is cutting off a lot of the support for TrueSpace.
You may have heard that Microsoft Corporation, reacting to difficult business conditions, has been evaluating many of the products it produces and making the difficult decision to reduce investment in certain areas.
It is with regret that I have to tell you that trueSpace is one of the products affected. As a consequence, you will see reduction or elimination of services offered for trueSpace. For example, there will be no phone or email support offered for trueSpace by Microsoft, and our web site may also be affected. While the dates are not absolutely fixed, some services and contacts may come to an end as early as Friday May 22nd 2009, while others will continue as long as possible with no firm cutoff date available yet."
I'm kinda saddened - it was one of the very first 3D software packages I ever used - way back with version 1 or 2. I haven't used it in a long while - but I still have some found memories of those early struggles.

They only say they're discontinuing phone support and web stuff - not development on future products.
