<p class=MsoPlainText>Thank you for being a key contributor towards the development
of X3D over the last 10 years. Media Machines made significant
contributions to X3D. Your team has been supporters of open standards and
developed a great X3D player and authoring tool under your leadership. It's regrettable
that these products will have no further support. Let’s hope 3D content
developers will use open source Flux Player Code, and also Vivaty Studio which author’s
X3D content. Please keep us informed of any further developments on these
products. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Again, thank you for all your contributions and good luck
with your future endeavors.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Hey:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>In case you have not heard:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Microsoft has acquired IP and key employees from Vivaty
and will be<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>incorporating some of this technology into future
products.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>So, its not looking good for any further support of the
Vivaty Player,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>or Vivaty Studio.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>You are certainly welcome to the open source Flux Player
Code, and the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>various versions of Vivaty Studio that are floating
around.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Thanks for all your support over the years. It's been a
hoot!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>And, thanks to Tony Parisi, for all that he put into
Flux/Vivaty.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Good Luck!<o:p></o:p></p>
