Well going the way of the Dodo is a little bit untrue.....
They also introduced the new sdk !
So it should have pretty much impact on what will and can be made
by 3d party ! And honestly the Ui of TS 7.6 is much more user friendly then that of Blender.
Some of the users are already posting about making fluid sims like that in Blender so I think
its not going down !
microsoft has pretty deep pockets and with the background of Virtual Earth content creation
its going to be pretty interesting !
There will be a Kerkythea exporter pretty soon and thatsm going to be a very good way of getting
animations rendered in photorealistic quality !
you pay around 2000 - 3000 $ for any of the big packs plus Maxwell and
Truespace with Kerkythea at nothing (with procedural animation) is realy interesting !
We might even get a 3dm import ?!
