I think the whole concept how Poser handles memoryblocks is what Vista doen't allow (yes, for "security reasons" aehem).

A patch wouldn't be enough to make Poser work (if memory management is the reason). Perhaps for a few month - until the first Vista servicepak comes out :)

If you are a programmer you can see something similar with XP while using the .NET framework. Grab  something out of the clipboard and try to send it over the network. No chance to do it the way you did it before. It's only  possible with a lot of code to circumvence the .NET bariere (if security where really the reason, it shouldn't be possible to find a way "out of the cage").

Windows users are going to live on an isolated island. Except they are willing to accept Digital Right Managment (DRM). Apple users are happier - anything works the way the user likes it.
Time to move Poser over to Linux, e-frontier :)
