my main concern with P4 support was that it was actually holding back poser product progression.

so many merchants feared to release dynamic clothing, or something with firefly shaders because 'the p4 users will complain'. we need to move on and start making more use of the potential of poser, and thats not going to happen with a minority expecting that everything should support P4.

i dont think that every single poser version released since poser 4 was worth upgrading to... however by now there have been so many improvements and features added to poser that an upgrade is long overdue.
