I don't think the hardware is the issue either - If there weren't people running Max with "old" machines with fewer issues, you could probably say it isn't CL's fault. There's a guy over at CGTalk that's building some incredible stuff on a machine with only 512MB of RAM. The fact is (as others have said), the core of Poser is rotten. They had memory management issues in P5, they're still there in P6. Maybe they're not lazy, or cheap, but they sure as heck are sloppy. Maybe they don't test with multiple figures because they know it won't work... After letting P6 out the door with that memory leak, I'd be surprised if they tested it themselves at all!
