...that's why DAZ is only letting the Platinum Club have the current version right because they need a wider test base... Mmmm... the PC people will only have Studio for a few days before the rest. As such, only the most egregious bugs will likely be found. I suspect that letting PC members have it first is just a feel-good marketing ploy. (Mind you, as a PC member myself I am not complaining!) I agree that those who expect Studio to be the next best thing to sex are likely to be extremely disappointed- serves them right. Sex is a tough act to follow... This long term public beta approach has been done before. Not only does it appear to offer superior testing feedback (for the reasons you mentioned and more) but it also tends to build a receptive market base. All in all I'd say it's a good thing that benefits most of us. In the long term it will probably even benefit CL. - Jack
