I just think that, as good as Daz Studio no doubt will be (and I have no doubt it will be an excellent product) that it will manage not to meet the needs of everyone. No product does. Is Poser 5 perfect? Of course not. Does it work well for some peopel and not for others? Indeed, yes. The main problem with Poser 5 is not the software, in my mind, but the lack of support given by the new owners of Curious Labs to the software and to their customers. This is the one area where I think Daz will shine...their customer service is first rate. I may not be enthusiastic about all their products, but I have a great deal of confidence in their personnel and their attempts to make customers happy. Well, except on weekends when they take deserved time off and I am left tapping my foot until Monday. But that's a minor thing, in my mind. I just hope they don't release Daz Studio on a Friday afternoon. :(
