I seriously doubt that.... very seriously. If they're building Poser 8 for new users they may as well stop doing so. Why, as a new user would I want to spent $250 or so for something I initially can get for free and only buy the additions I really need? I do believe that they still depend on at least 75% of sales coming from their user base. If they want to entice new users they have to consider a whole new approach.

When I started out, I used DS for a month, and then bought Poser 7.  Even with DS Advanced and the add-ons (which even at the current discounted prices still cost far more than I paid for Poser 7)  there are things that Poser does better, and it's a still a lot cheaper than Lightwave or Maya.
