Autodesk acquires GBS
Autodesk has acquired the assets of Green Building Studio (GBS), further consolidating the market for Mac-based architecture software. GBS' web service will soon join the Autodesk product family, while the GBS team will continue selling, training, and supporting architects as they use the GBS web service to design carbon neutral buildings today and in the future. Autodesk also plans to continue support for the Green Building Studio web service and carbon neutral building design training. The gbXML schema will remain an open industry standard, and the GBS web service will continue to be available to any other BIM software.

Mac support to cease?
Given that Autodesk doesn't support Macs, does anyone know if Autodesk has announced their future plans for Green Building Studio with respect to Mac support?
My guess, and it is only a guess, is that they will drop support for Graphisoft's ArchiCAD (and Mac support along with that...) as the first opportunity.
