Thanks for the links.
I've read over the preview guide for the past few weeks just... either smacking my forehead, shaking my head, or cheering. Very mixed feelings, but this release, more than previous has definitely caused stronger feelings than before. What sucks, sucks harder, and what is cool, is way cool.
I'm happy that many things are allowed to be turned off, though. I find it ludicrous that they make such flippant decisions about interface though... I mean how many of us just got used to using the Dashboard and have come to use it? Now it's totally gone! What the frick, Autodesk... seriously come on. *shakes head*
Maybe next year they'll work on some features that actually help get a model displayed properly on construction documents, instead of worrying about wasting time and effort on a bunch of crap that will never leave the computer. HOW ABOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE PAPER RESULT, YOU
NINNIES?! That's what we all make the money on!!!!
*edit*
Sorry, one slipped through the filter... toned it down a bit, but made it RED to emphasize the anger
