Quote - So glad I waited before jumping in with Poser 7.
It is obviously a beta release for us guniea pigs to debug for them.
I can't believe they didn't know of these crash issues before release.

 

Its been the same every update since I first bought Poser at P2.  I gave up on P6 and have yet to download any of the service packs, as P5 works fine.  Occluding shadows aren't enough to overcome the lack of backward compatability and the fact that P6 was slower and chokes on big projects far more often than P5.  

And yet I bought P7 at the pre-release special.

Every upgrade, without fail,  The product gets rushed out,  it crashes often,  customer service can't keep up with all the complaints,  three or four months go by,  SR1 is released and while usually fixing "most" of the bugs, often comes with new bugs.  six months go by and SR2 is released and finally fixes most of the critical bugs without adding too many new ones,  but some of the annoying,  but less critcal bugs never get fixed.  Many disatisfied customers scream and rant in this forum after the release, vowing to never come back.   

But those with patience and perseverance eventually get a product that is truly amazing and without compare in the 3D world.  I love Poser and the development team!

Merry Christmas to all!
