The secret to making a popular product is to build the system around it.
Bell didn't invent the first telephone, Edison didn't invent the first light bulb,
Ford certainly didn't invent the first auto.  But they became the "inventors
of record" because they understood the need to set up the entire
distribution system so that people could use the product.  
Not just the bulb, but the sockets, wires, plugs, and generators;
not just the telephone but the switchboards and the installers;
not just the horseless carriage but the mechanics and dealers. 

Daz seems to have caught onto this principle better than the owners of Poser.
