The image is just so...grey. I'm sure the point was the lack of noise where the embossed lettering is. But it means nothing to me if the quality of light is as poor as I've seen demonstrated since RC1.

And I'm pretty sure that whoever created the image cannot care less about what I think about anything.

Just a reminder of what used to be teaser images of Mx...
And some statements from developpers...

That's what got me on the boat. Not that I regret (I use Mx "successfully" in production), but it's funny to see how things evolve over time.

As far as I remember, it was Feb/March '05.

I downloaded that interview on 25 February 2005, less than a month before I bought MW. I was impressed by that interview, the sample renderings ... all of it.
