I suspect that the pure-Vista version of Poser will be P8.

As for P7......frankly, I don't have a clue about what ef is going to do.  So I won't waste my time in pre-judging a software that doesn't exist in the Marketplace yet.  I'll judge it after I see it.  However,  based upon my very positive experience with P6: I'm not staying up nights owing to any anxiety on the subject.  I believe that ef will do an excellent job with P7.

But being an optimist with a positive view of things isn't the current forum fad (when was it ever?)......so it's uncool to offer any (choke......) praise.  To some -- bitterness has a taste which is far superior to that of chocolate.  It must be superior -- because they indulge themselves in it so very, very often.

Some few of us will actually enjoy the products which we pay for.  And we are sheep-like enough not to feel like the companies involved have cheated us because they (horror of horrors !!!! )*   MADE MONEY* while they were pleasing us all with the new toys which they have provided for us so that we can while away our idle time in pointless self-indulgence.  As a matter of fact -- it's all so pointless that it's cool to hang around the forums all of time pointing out to the rest of us (over and over again) just how incredibly pointless our behavior is........here -- let me spend my time kicking over your virtual sand castle(s) for you............because you deserve it for being so -- whatever it is that you are that I don't like.........

Making money is evil.  Everybody knows that.  Because it is a fact.

Personally, I'm looking for good things from ef.  And from DAZ.  And I hope that they make a profit, too.
