My prediction is this:
Max3D will arrive only after DX10 is established. Given the headache of DX9 and all of the cards that "claim" full support, I wouldn't blame Mark for holding off.
The unified shader model of DX10 and the HW requirements make it much easier. Mark would be able to make MAX3D into anything he wants with whatever feature set he wants and it would be compatible, require less support and be dang fast.
It's what I'd do ...
