That is NOT a good reason for NOT supporting your existing customer base. 4.2 has been dragging along for a VERY LONG TIME. I know that I am NOT demanding P5 support, which is what 4.2 seems to be mostly about. It seems like E-On has gotten dragged into this idea of supporting BOTH P5 and various MAC OS's as well- and yet it will ONLY GIVE THEM EVEN GREATER HEADACHES!!! The MAC OS problem is a mess in itself. Most people at the Poser Forum sound most definately like they will NEVER buy P5 and are waiting for DAZ Studio!!! I am one of those people too. What E-On is doing is making the Windows users (about 90% of the market) and the P4-P4 Pro-Pack users, (probably also about 90% of the market) BEAR ALL THE PAIN and EXPENSE of E-On's chasing a TINY FRACTION of the marketplace- for what realistic reason? By the time they get only HALF the P5-MAC problems solved DAZ Studio will be entering the scene. Somewhere after heading towards Vue 4, I think E-On seems to have made some bad R&D decisions, wasting their time and resources on strange wild-goose chases. One last big potential horror NOW is- what if DAZ Studio (which is likely) offers some kind of Ray-Tracing plug-in? DAZ Studio will most likely want to MATCH and IMPROVE (if not completely fix) the continuous problems plaging Curious Labs and P5. DAZ Studio will likely offer WORKING OPEN GL rendering, with both P4-like Phong Rendering and Vue-like Ray Trace rendering. If you combine these and a few other things well, its almost like having-- 3DStudio MAX!
