It looks to me like they already have all the technology they need to compete with poser. Why spend $6 mil on a line of products that duplicates 80-90% of what they already have?
If I were DAZ, I don't know how I would justify that purchase.
That's true enough and as you mentioned earlier - Poser content works well enough in Carrara as well as D|S. Daz seems to have a Poser-like solution already at both ends of the spectrum :)

Buying Poser would eliminate the competition. 
Although in this case the 'competition' is a two-sided coin -- as represented by the fact that DAZ sells lots of content for Poser, and that Poser's popularity is in large measure due to the DAZ figures.
So they actually support each other, even if it's been done unwillingly on the part of some. Or at least that's been the case so far.
Ya know -- I just don't think that DAZ would be happy to suddenly see the bottom fall out of the Poser market for their content. Not everyone has Carrara. Or even D|S.
