Heh, actually I was in a really good mood and having a laugh when I wrote that

-I myself was going through caffeine and candy withdrawl, so there ya go, lol...;o)   (my apologies)

Bryce development is painful either needing much investment which will increase price and lose customers

Bryce already has a huge user base to start, so really...if I were DAZ I would think I would mainly see it as selling my user base on the new upgrade. As far as investment goes, they have a steady influx of money from the sale of the figures. If I were to guess...it's definitely enough to keep them in slow/steady development of their software, and...help them keep the price of their upgrades down.

or it'll be bug prone and a hack which loses customers.

-a DAZ staff member has now mentioned;

A good portion of B6's development (and you can view this either as a good thing or perhaps not) has been in making the existing code base more useable/manageable to our developers so that we can give Bryce an even brighter future down the road. One of the benefits is that we hope to have a MAC Intel version out not too long after the main Bryce 6.0 release (though it will have to be a separate release a couple of months later).

So, imo, that's some good news. More to come in a couple of weeks.
