They've been working hard!  I think this is a very legitimate, helpful release. 

 

Very glad they're making the interface different.  The cold "sensibility" of the 2010 interface is going to have a little common sense injected back into it...

Autodesk Revit Architecture now provides the ability to display materials and ambient lighting in editable views. --> that was possible in 3dmax 2008, with the mi materials you have correct illumination
