Maya and Apple? nah
Apple will not purchase Maya. Alias Wavefront has lost so much money on account of their Maya 3.5 for mac, I dont think apple sees much hope in another incarnation of Maya. plus, about 95% of the 3D market is held by PC users. It wouldnt make sense to make it native for Apple.
Whether you want to admit it or not, Mac is not optimal for 3D. you can buy a 3D rendering machine(PC) for like $600, whereas, you need to spend about $2500 for a decent 3D mac machine. Unless they Alias wavefront and begin work on a 64-Bit G5 version of Maya, I dont see much happening.
