Quote - There's three things looming that will kill Poser, as it is currently. 1: Windows Vista (and OS/X) 2: 64-bit computing 3: Processor speed depending on multicore processors. There's going to have to be support for that, or Poser is going nowhere. I could see P6 turning into a Poser Artist 2, but it would be hard to leverage Poser into sales of other products if it's a 32-bit, single core, development dead-end

Though Poser 6 is described as requiring Windows XP I happily ran it under an earlier version of windows for over a year. I had no problems once I installed SR1 and was puzzled by the complaints of memory issues by people using Win XP with much more memory than I had .

It's been 2 months now since I upgraded my PC. I've come to the conclusion that Poser 6 was NOT designed to run with WinXP they just put the name on the box to reassure people it was a modern design software. Poser 7 will probably be the same except they'll say it requires windows Vista to give the impression of being new. (or am I being to cynicle?)
