Personally I don't care what happens to office.

Yep, I do believe an upgrade of the standard graphics packages and such are in order. A redesign of the cbabe, pguard, hero, etc. would also be good, and might help bring 3DGS up to the latest speed with some of the other development packages a little. You know, when you buy a development suite+engine like this you'd like to have a little bit of quality sample material to toy with. At least I would.

I would like to note that if you go to the 3D Gamestudio Downloads page you can find a link to a new Standard.wad that you can download for $20. It supposedly includes normal maps for all of the textures as well. Apparently nobody here seems to know this, though...
