That Bill Gates is making another million!

Here at the recent SMAU exhibition SolidWorks had 4 large stands, quite
amazing for a product in its first year of existence, especially for Italy
where things usually take longer to get known (it's the pasta...). PTC,
Autodesk, and most of the other companies were also present, but my
impression is that they're anxious and nervous about the newcomers.
