Another possibility is that SM is extending the development cycle this time (as in maybe EF was about to rush another version out the door; or they noted the number of 'pro's' who asked 'where's the pro beef?' in P7P). Let's face it. If SM has been handling distribution since P5, then they have had an intimate look at the behaviors that the Poser community has evinced. Blowing their first official release would be akin to wandering into a leaking gasoline storage facility with a lit flare. When Vue put the price on the latest version of Infinite, they had the ecosystems instancing, auto post processing, and Photoshop layer output options, and a few other high end capabilities. P7P is kind of knocking on the pro level options....sorta. But more importantly, it will have to be a stable release to get off on the right foot. And we all know that there will -have- to be changes to rigging and UI sooner or later, just to keep the app useable.
