As for "does this mean good or bad things for your average Maya user?",
Accel-KKR are committed to support our growth, and are a "patient investor",
not "quick-flip" trolls focused on squeezing out maximum short-term
bottom-line profits.
So when we are an independent entity, we'll be able to further invest in
existing and new business. This means we have solid backing (by folks who
"get" the software industry) to make Maya even better and provide you with
better support and services.
Hope this helps.
