This year it's etched in stone, no reason to dwell on the past. The future is an altogether different matter though. 

D|S comes as a less than 20mb installer, Poser is close to a 2gb behemoth. That comparison alone is enough to clue non users of either program that Poser has enhanced capabilities over D|S. Not trying to discredit the abilities of D|S artists but it is not a fair software matchup.

In my opinion there should be a AOM for free applications regardless of their differences.
