well, personally, I don't want mac users to worry.  it's clear from bill's comments that he found coding for OS X to be a challenge (as it should be), but that his interface is largely complete.  furthermore, since the developers and testers are now allowed to make limited comments in re: poser 8 (provided there's no negative impact on pre-orders), we can be assured that, whilst FFRender is still part of the poser 8 pkg, the additions to its GUI were handled in a professional manner by those with a consummate interest in the future of said app.
