I'd be happy if Poser 8 came with some basic improvements - and I mean BASIC.

The ability to frame any selected body part
Cameras that aren't locked on the center of the universe (ie. the dolly camera, but an entire range of them).
The ability to add a new camera at will.
The ability to save a scene to the library with lights and cameras (without being forced to parent figures together or saving UI info ala .pz3)
The ability to save multiple parented props together without faffing around with Subset - and the ability to delete them all at once.
A customisable UI - at least for keyboard shortcuts and maybe toolbars. (I doubt any UI which relies on .psd files will ever be properly customisable).

I already have all these things in Daz Studio, so it's not like I'm forced to do without. But if Poser is ever going to woo new users, they need to make it more modern, windows-compatible and user-friendly. The days of users learning bizarre new interfaces went out in the 90s. Most people want to deal with standardised UIs in all apps nowadays. When I was first confronted with Poser (12 years ago), it was a challenge to learn. If I came across it today, I probably wouldn't even bother trying.
