Personally, I would think there is a big difference between Pro/Industry and Hobbyist software. Go buy a car or a truck and ask the dealer what the differences are between a comercial vehicle warranty and a standard family car or truck warranty. Consider that if you are using it for a comercial project you're going to want support in the event you have a problem because it costs you money every minute when the software crashes. On the other hand think about a Hobbyist. You can be left to hang out in the wind until the next update or Service Release. With a Pro version comes more responcibility. It basically says we're now ready to take on a work load and we have the product support to back our product in the event your multi-million dollar project gets bogged down in software related issues. If that same place says to e frontier, I only own the hobby version, well maybe it's time to upgrade to the Pro Version. I'm sure they need some CYA at e frontier for comercial usage of Poser and only a Pro version can fit the bill. It's not just about the enhancements. There's a lot more to it than that I'm sure.
