if they didn't wait for the poser 7 beta to include whatever new joint/bone features P7 incorporates, it may be safe to assume that it's more of the same from Daz. I reckon it's unlikely that daz employees would be recruited to participate in the alpha or beta testing, and of course, there is no possibility that any of the official testers would distribute copies in an unauthorised manner. hence it may be something that will work in D|S and older versions of poser, and it will probably retain the same design problems of the vickie series, although with cosmetic patches, e.g. more polygons in problem areas.
