Well, i got installed last night.

Very impressive program. It comes with masses of Lessons on how to use the thing. The only annoying thing is a blasted water mark on some of the windows that does not go away.

I'm sure there is a crack somewhere that could remove it.

Oh and about the 3-button mouse thing. You actually really need one to use it. You can also use a roller-ball if it can click down. It counts as a middle button (which i am very glad of, 'cause thats all i have ). No 3-button mouse = no Maya....

But then, most of you people into computer animation already have 3-button mice anyway.
