I have Poser 2, 3, 5, 6 & 7. Also have many of the feelings expressed earlier. [But plan to wait & see what 8 is like]. Somehow I get the feeling that Jenx is somehow blaming the customer & sparing MS. I also took that survey months & months ago. The survey seemed to be heavily steering you to the answers/'improvements' that they wanted to hear, [leaving the impression that it was already a done deal]. Granted, some of the people here are a bit of a tough customer. But that is the key word, customer.  Meaning, as a last ditch effort, we vote with our pocketbooks [ Especially if it seems that we've been ignored earlier.] The 'Sit down & shut up', speech has never played well. I am looking foward to the complete list of improvements/changes for Poser 8 [& not some slowly leaked out list either]. So far I haven't noticed a given time frame on any of this. Cost & improvements/changes will be the deciding factors.   Mike
