Quote - Hopefully, without saying too much, I can make clear that e-F does in fact do testing and bug tracking, and it's extensive. I can't say more than that, but it is the truth.

I'm quite sure e-F have their own beta-testing/bug tracker system. They'd be fools not to, and I doubt they're fools. What I suggested was that they have a public bug tracker which poser users can access. The whole point of software development and marketing in the 21st century is to give the users what they want, not what you think they need, so that they continue to buy your program. Since e-F no longer have a monopoly on the market, they'd be well advised to start listening to what the customers are saying - ie. via a bug tracker/feature request system. Otherwise the 200,000+ people who use daz studio are going to keep on increasing at the expense of poser.

Re Siggraph - I've worked at several trade shows (photographic), and I can tell you, it's no joke. If anyone offered me a 'free vacation' at a trade show, I'd want large amounts of money for the 'pleasure' of doing it.
