Just wanted to let everyone know that future releases of Houdini will not include a Win 32 VC7 build, but they WILL still include a Win 32 VC8 build. That's the one most win 32 users care about anyhoo according to our survey and download data, as it's the one that has FBX support. (The win 32 VC7 build does not). We just wanted to give you guys a heads up about this. Our understanding is that it will affect very few, if any, of our customers.

Based on the feedback received, our next release of Houdini in 2010 will not have support for VC7. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.
