Autodesk to Port Alias line of products to Mac OS X

During years, the Mac has been considered by Autodesk as a marginal OS and hardware solution, not justifying the effort to maintain and/or develop Mac versions of their popular architecture solutions, regularly updated for Windows; while many architects are using Mac. So, it gave free room for other major players in the field, ArchiCAD and VectorWorks, to invest and share the Mac market.
Things might change. Already last January, Rob Hoffmann, Senior Product Marketing Manager 3D for Autodesk stated that "The Mac is just like any other platform within entertainment sharing the same roles as Windows and Linux."
Today, a rumor reports that Autodesk has told a group of journalists that they are making the line of Alias products available on the Mac OS X platform in a near future. For many of us, this is a sign that the Mac platform is back, not having to fight anymore to get developers interested in porting their solution to the platform, they come themselves to this conclusion as there is a clear market. It might also well be the forthcoming GPGPU support which should greatly help rendering for architects.
