I've already made my feelings clear. Poser6 will be Poser5 with 80% of the bugs intact, a larger and more obnoxious library, a cludged-in GI that will work very slowly and not very well -- and they will sell umpteen copies to every newbie artist who won't believe that "latest" doesn't always mean "greatest." And forums like this, which are largely responsible for distributing information and decent models and hacks to make the software run properly (in short, all the stuff the developers of the software should have done), will be innundated by a new crop of screaming users looking for help. There is very little incentive to fix bugs. Given the choice between selling an upgrade to an experienced user, or fobbing of ten copies of a bug-ridden piece of junk through Barnes&Noble to new users, which way do you think they will go? And ain't no way in heck the base code will be substantially revised.
