Well I pre-ordered Poser 5 AND 6 and I definately WILL NOT be doing it with 7!!!   I have found Poser 6 to be practically useless. I continue to get the "out of memory messages even after countless times trying different installations on each of my 4 very large (by 'Hobbyist standard's) PC's. and yes I have correctly installed all SR's. I want (neh, NEED) to ba able to output high resolution images and Poser 6 just WILL NOT allow me to do this, I had no problem's at all with high res textures in '5', OK...the time's needed on some renders was very high but I COULD do it if needed but '6'.........NO WAY JOSE'!!! It controls all my artistic endevour's by deciding for me what size textures i ought to be using....well enough is enough!!  I have recently started useing DS and up to now have had absolutely NO problems and this in a program that is GIVEN AWAY!!! granted, you have to purchase the plugin's but compared to the alternative this is small price to pay for a piece of software that at least does 'What it says on the tin'!! I've also been trying 'Quidam' another piece of software that although fairly limited at present does at least seem to be mostly useable in a way that the manufacturers claim and also show's great potential for the future. I'm really sorry to say this because I have allway's had a bit of a soft spot for the program but i'm affraid that for me I fear that Poser, at least in any of it's future incarnation's, is HISTORY!!
