I doubt that you can respond to this but I am thinking about a few things that I hope are still in Poser 8. They might be something to think about, or not. The little triangle auto expander in the libraries that allows you to go anywhere in a single click is wonderful and I hope it doesn't go away, the light ball is quite handy, the movable window and changeable/hidable palettes are all things that I really like in Poser. To me the current Poser interface (although it isn't perfect) is very clean and it nice to have the flexibility that it does have. The DS interface has always bothered me and it does a lot of things that I don't like and I am hoping that I still cna use Poser in most of the ways that I have through the years.
