Re: what inventor do we get this year

traditionally FIRST gets the version that is a year old...i think this is for 2 reasons.

1) less bugs in the program that people will have to deal with 6 weeks is a tight time period to design and build

2) less risk of piracy from the stand point of autodesk if they gave out thousands of copies of their newest software it has a higer probablity of getting ripped and put on bit torrent or some other file sharing tool compaired to an older verson which isn't as "cherry" in the minds of software pirates...arrrrrrrg
