"The future for Poser lies in its integration with Shade." That's why the gross insult of the latest Shade update is so grating. I bought Shade 7 (about 2 months ago!) because I wanted something well integrated with Poser. Now they come out with a new release, and no affordable option to upgrade from my previous release of Shade. I get exactly the same deal as if I'd never bought freaking Shade at all!
