Actually, if you carry through the above line of thinking, a buyout of Curious Labs by a Vue-Eovia consortium, would make this whole deal perfect! Instead of Curious Labs struggling to patch together software, why not turn it over to a group who could actually do the programming to fix everything and give a new "Poser 6" a complete and total make-over. Or, would there even be a NEED for a Poser 6? Perhaps this is also why DAZ Studio is constantly "pushed back?" Are there rumblings of a big "3D Re-Alignment?" in the making? (Wouldn't hurt DAZ really, as they are primarily a 3D model making company.)
