When did PPro come out? I'm under the impression (via rumor) that Poser 8 is due out before Christmas.  I cannot substantiate the rumors and have come up with nothing in searching the Internet.  

However, Poser 7 will be two years old as of the end of this year, and with the change of ownership to Smith Micro there may be a new release.  

If you're happy with Poser 7, it might be a wise course to wait until the end of the year before spending that hard earned cash.
