Lots of Feedback in FY08 - thanks

The Autodesk fiscal year runs from February 1 through January 31. So we just finished FY08. We're now into FY09. So you'll see products that we release later in the year reflect the 2009 moniker.

Autodesk Labs is all about feedback. And thanks to you, it's working. For each technology or utility we make available on Autodesk Labs, I set up an email address to receive your feedback. I am a member of all of these email addresses, so I get to see all of the wonderful comments and suggestions that come in. I read each and every message. I also have the thrill of deleting the SPAM. :-) As a refresher, let me point out the email addresses we have for your feedback:
