 And speaking again of Vista...
Home Basic and Ultimate, etc, all list a 1 GHz processor as minimum, which is, IMO, another glaring contradiction in the specs. Why have you failed to comment on any of the Vista discrepencies that I've mentioned three times now and Cage pointed out initially? How can they say "Vista" in general is a supported operating system, while Vista itself has specs above what they list? How are they supposed to "run" the software on a computer that's barely managing to run the operating system? Hmmm? I mean, since you're so involved with arguing on their side, you might as well defend them on that point too. You know, for the sake of completeness and all.

Because I don't know anything about Vista. Let someone who knows that system argue the merits.

Once again, I'm only talking about the minimum system specs required to get Poser to "run". I've been adamant about that point.

As I mentioned earlier, the "recommended" specs doesn't mean a thing. An ignorant computer user will think, "Oh, that's if I want it to scream", and will be under the impression that "minimum" means he can download all those Vickies with their 4K textures and  make a render with the fancy new GI stuff shown on SM's site.

Obviously you don't seem to understand at all the point I've been trying to make, that it's just wrong to tell people they can run the software that really needs far more power if they're going to actually use it. Not legally or technically wrong, just plain.... wrong.

You've obviously missed the points in my post where I've said that at one point I was that "ignorant" computer user. At no point did I ever think the minimum specs required were what I needed to make the program "scream".  Okay, so maybe either I wasn't that ignorant, or you're not giving people enough credit. 

Of  course I guess that's why you consider giving out the MSR as somehow being "morally" wrong. I don't.  I guess we just disagree.
