It always makes me laugh when I see people getting upset because programs like Poser aren't made for Linux...the chances of that happening are near zero...and with good reason.
Firstly, if you start to produce a software for Linux that is available to the masses, people like e-Frontier would have to up the price of the software ten fold to just cover support costs of every Tom, Dick and Harriet who purchased it to cover the support with their distro.
Lets face it, if a person wouldn't touch the Windows registry without getting into a sweat, they sure as hell wouldn't have a clue on how to manually install a graphics driver (anybody who uses an older ATI Mobility card with Linux will know what I''m talking about).
I can almost be certain that the cost of developing a Linux Poser would never recoup it's cost compared to the amount of people that would use it.

Now, I've used Vista for about 6 months and can't remember a crash...and you will start to find that games and software (3DS Max 2008 is such a program) will support DirectX 10...which is only available from Vista...and believe me DirectX 10 kicks OpenGL 2 into the shade on many points.

And before people say that I'm a Linux basher...well I've used Linux for years, shader programming for Renderman based renders....and though it is a great OS, it's pluses are also it's faults.
