Oh, none of the library is in IE. The library is HOSTED by IE, on PC. In Mac it is hosted by the native Mac browser.

The library is written in Flex/Flash (visible parts) and C++ (invisible parts).

Nothing is written in IE.

IE is part of the Windows operating system, just like True Type Fonts is part of the Windows operating system. The Indexing service used by the Search engine is also part of the Windows or Mac operating systems. More and more of Poser is using built-in OS features, instead of rollling its own.

Much of the installation and compatibility problems is stemming from the fact that there are like 8 different variations of Windows out there: XP, XP SP1, XP SP2, XP SP3, Vista, Windows 7 Beta, etc. etc.

A lot of people think Windows is Windows is Windows. Nope.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
