That investment purchase of the foundry probably had very little to do with dev approach, and mischeif was a very little concern also.... i wouldnt worry that too much of anything will change with its dev, look and feel, etc. ..

Interestingly, I was asked to visit with the investors before the purchase and answered a number of questions about MODO and the state of 3D. I specifically mentioned they should take a look at MoI for its ease of use and progressive disclosure interface as I find MODO's learning curve to be considerably steeper.

I don't think there's going to be much if any changes to the existing productline anytime very soon.
