3ds Max 2012 and Maya 2012 adds PhysX support

Autodesk announced today that 3ds Max 2012 and Maya 2012 will feature PhysX support.  Autodesk even goes as far to say their PhysX implementation will be multi-threaded (so all you AMD and Intel fans can still rejoice).  Autodesk claims that with PhysX artists will be able to create "more compelling, dynamic rigid-body simulations".

I'm somewhat impressed that PhysX is branching out to other applications besides games.  Obviously there could be a lot of potential here.  But if Word 2012 adds PhysX support, I'm quiting the internet.
