Gee, John.  Look, I don't want to rain on your parade, and I can 

certainly understand where you're coming from as a MM person, but 

from your statements, perhaps you've been too busy to examine the 

Pulse3D product in any detail?


It indeed has 3D worlds, its own scripting language, fantastic pro 3D 

rendering capabilities, streams real-time with sound at 28.8, and has 

a plug-in size about that of Flash.  In other words, quite a bit more 

than talking heads as you suggest.  I'm not here to pump the product 

over what MM has in development, but your statements weren't exactly 

accurate.


Why not go to their site, run through the examples, read the white 

paper and 3D specs, download the Free PulseCreator and see for 

yourself?


If the Intel drop-in renderer can do what Pulse can, then you maybe 

have a winner, except for the plug-in size.  But all this remains to 

be seen.  The details remain sketchy, but sound good so far.


I hope you're right and it turns out to be killer. We all do.


Any idea when it will be a shipping product or demos available?
