That has been a feature of Windows for some time now :-).

The aim of a patch is to fix the O/S.
If 3D Studio Max was broken because of it, then that is
unfortunate, and can really can happen under different
O/S's as well.
Btw - 'Lightwave 3D' is the King :-).

| I agree, except for one thing - it's not the Unix community hacking MS

Well, I didn't say it was the *nix* community doing
the hacking, but rather because of it's(MS) popularity,
it is a much larger target, and more glamorous amongst
the hacking community.

| Not from when I've played on it using a 3.2GHz mega stonk of a box...
| Horrible is an understatement of monolithic proportions.
I have not yet had the pleasure to have a play around with it,
but don't count your chickens before they hatch - I have heard
some very good reports about it, and you have to remember, that
it is still in beta, and one to two years away from hitting the
shelves - a lot will improve by then.
Cheers.
