My bet is that when Daz Studio comes out, there will be people who love, it swear by it, wouldn't live without it; and then there will be people who can't get it to work, are disappointed that it doesn't do everything they wanted it to, and are sorry they bought; and then there will be people who don't buy it but take sides anyway. It's just human nature. Poser 5 works for some of us. Not all of us. And, frankly, it would surprise me very much if Daz Studio wasn't the same. The difference will be made in the company commitment to both the product and the people who purchase it. So far as I can tell, Daz has a very good track record in both areas. At this point, I wouldn't be buying the newest and greatest software...I would be buying customer service and responsiveness. My two cents, which I can't give away these days.
