The thing is folks... you're too late! If they are advetising Poser 8 in a July magazine, you can list all the "WANTS" you like, but it's already to late! At this point the programing is already done, If anything they are in the bug squashing phase (or at least I hope they are!). I would assume the advertisement means, at most, a couple of months before release (maybe even at Siggraph) in which case they need to be just about ready to "go gold" is they haven;t already.

Speculate on new features... hope they found that the feature you want was called out for monthes ago, but don;t expect them to make any effort to re-progam Poser at this point, it ain't happening. If you don;t get your personal wish fulfilled then start lobbying for Poser 9, cause my bet is Poser 8 is all but in the box.
