Problem is some people have it in their heads that they have to get every new version of a program whenever it's released even when the old version works perfectly well. 

Quote - FEAR!!! I read this frantic speculation and i see alot of FEAR
(On the part of some not all)

How Many Here have a runtime that exceeds 10 GiGS??
not including all the unopened zips of "poser content"
hoarded over the years
If there was no future versions of poser what would it mean to you
as a practical matter?? in your real life...Honestly
No more renders??
will all your existing content just "expire and stop functioning??

IMHO The basic functionality is Poser for still rendering has not really changed
since the poser5 yes there have been some slight enhancements to the materiel room but thats about it
the character animation tools have  have been stagnant since poser4
Any other Feature that you might be waiting for in poser  8-9-10
already exists in other programs.

I have stopped at poser-6 as I see no reason for another version of it
I dont have this  "concern"  I see expressed here about there not being future versions of ANY software package
Adobe is at Photoshop CS3 Im still using Photoshop CS1 no problems No **FEAR
**
Macromedia is defunct Adobe Now owns Flash.

 Im still using Macromedia Flash MX No problems No FEAR
Apple is on Final cut Pro6 im making money with Final cut Pro4 no problems
 No FEAR
Maxon is on Cinema4D 10.5

Im incorporating 3D Media  into my Video  work from Cinema4D 9.5  No problems
No FEAR.

Heck Sanctumart Killed off the RDL7 Sci fi sets and offer ZERO support for existing users
yet I still create renders with it no problems No FEAR
I could go on and on listing applications I use that are not the latest version that still are quite viable.
My freelance clients dont care what version im using to produce the result they are paying for

Relax  be creative and use what you have already aquired creatively .
use your imagination Dont be to bothered about the Future of software programs that you cant Control anyway.

Cheers
