I think it's the P4/PP upgraders who really got screwed. The $99 price applies to all upgrades - P4, PP, or P5. That's a $50 difference for someone who preordered the P4 upgrade. A slap in the face indeed, considering that their ad said that the price would not be lower.

As for what Poser is for...I think it's clearly intended for home use. Maybe it wasn't originally, but look around. Look at most of the stuff at DAZ or in the RMP. It's not the kind of thing you need to make industrial videos or office presentations. Look at the bonus pack CL included. Was it a business suit for Jessi or James? No, it was a fantasy "winter queen" costume that's more likely to be used by home users, for fun, than at the office for marketing presentations.

Poser is cheap software. At $99, it costs as much as a couple of video games. And it's now competing with D|S, which is free.
