I must say that I'm not sensing the same level of community negativity as the prevailing negativity which accompanied the last three releases of Poser.

IMHO, I think that Poser 5 was the only release that really generated anything more than the usual grumbling. This was due to P5 being hyped beyond belief, only to fail miserably.

P6 actually behaves itself just fine (at least the Mac version does), and from most folks whom I consider credible, P7 is pretty solid as well, stability-wise.

I suspect that, aside from the bolt-ons, PoserPro (v 1.0?) is pretty much the same stable codebase as Poser 7 in most respects.
