"The vocal minority involved in these discussions do not always reflect the broader range of experiece with the program. I agree with that 100 percent :) About Photoshop though: I said, "...none as severe as Poser's." Not handling gifs or pngs isn't quite as severe as crashing your computer and forcing a reboot. And I can't recall any plugin doing that to Photoshop either. About Windows, I can't recall being forced to reboot by simply using it as it's supposed to be used. Come to think of it--aside from some games--I can't think of ANY program that locked up my computer simply by using it. Except for Poser, that is. Of course, the extremely bad memory handling is just one of Poser's many serious "issues." But we've been all over that before, no need to go into it again.
