Now that is a smart idea... Viral marketting is always cheaper and far more effective than a more traditional advertising campaign. "studies have shown..." that if you're happy with a product you'll tell two or three others, if you're unhappy, you'll tell 5 or more. A great way to stop people bitching is to simply give it away, people are far more likely to forgive the flaws in something if they didn't pay for it. Look at Netscape and IE. The Browser I use is called Phoenix, it's Version .5 works like a charm, blocks popups, very secure, dumps out every once in a while, but it's a joy to use, it's free.. I wouldn't be surprised if this is an "in house" tool they've had for a while, but what with the P5 debacle, (EULA and bugs) and all, as a content creator they probably saw thier future dwindling without new blood, (new poser users) so they decided to drum up a little business. Very smart move, if only a few % of that 1,000,000 buy something then they should do well. I wonder if 'Rosity will give them a beta forum too? later jb
