I'm sure CL is apprehensive about Studio, they'd be foolish not to be concerned. On paper at least, Studio could be a real Poser killer. From the (so far very limited) reports I've read about the Mac version of Poser 5, it seems to be fairly stable. If that's the case, It shows that CL took the time to get it right when might have rushed it if they had been mortally afraid of Studio grabbing all the new Mac market. Of course the Mac market is smaller and who knows, maybe CL knew that, far from being almost upon us, Studio was a long way from it's debut. The untrusting might even speculate that the initial teasers so far in advance of the release, were an attempt to cool the market for Poser 5 - something which Poser 5 seemingly did well enough on it's own.
