Vue is old dinosaur software and the render time can attest to this.  I bet e-on sells vue any day now with this economy.  I've been hearing  rumors for awhile.

These desperate throws to collect absurd amounts of money for almost no new features is astonishing IMO. 

I won't be caught holding the vue ball when they sell.

I'll keep my current working versions of poser and vue until I see some fair offers from these companies and the same goes for Microsoft.

These software companies in general are becoming out of control with these updates/upgrades/sidegrade nonesense.
