As an update on the news, I was speaking with an ex-Vmarker last night.
As has been reported here, both the Westborough and San Diego organizations
for Object Studio have been shut down.  Of the employees, one is expected
to be going to Germany to continue development there.  Vmark sent a letter
to stockholders telling them that this move would improve the quality and
timeliness of the Object Studio releases.  I'll believe it when I see it.

As for Jeff Sutherland, rumor has it that he is now VP of Engineering for
some internet startup (who's name escapes me).
