I must disagree that no one wanted the new features in Poser 7.  If others didn't agree they had no reason to upgrade, I know there are still people running Poser 5 (the most buggy version I think) and 6.  To me, multiple undos made it worth the purchase price if nothing else--I can't tell you had many times in the past I had to either reconstruct the scene from the beginning or revert to a prior saved version because I couldn't repair the changes I'd made.  Multiple undos have elliminated that need, it  was also a feature that Poser users had specifically asked for.   Auto save would be nice for future versions in case of rendering crash or the still upresolved "poof to the decktop" error.

Other good features that I've found helpful were the morphing paint brush and the replicate command.  The replicate feature is great because it will replicate any object in a scene, including full figures--something Daz Studio can't do.

Other than that I wish the next version would provide a new line of figures:  very few people love either Syndey or Simon (James with a new head stuck on this body).  The all have shoulder rigging problems and I think they are rather unattractive--but that's just my opinion of them--if people love them, then great.  I just think then need to scrap the G2s and come up with something entirely new and different with good rigging and more versatile body morphs.  I would perhaps love the G2s more if more vendors would create content for them--there is some but nothing that rivals the Victoria line of Daz.
