Quote - Daz installers are a typical application installer and are meant to make it EASIER for an inexperianced user.  

LOL -- the only thing they do is automatically install whatever the item is into your runtime (unless you tell it otherwise). As a result, you have no idea what's gone where, which leads to a bloated, inefficient runtime that slows down the performance.

Further to the point, they're OPERATING SYSTEM SPECIFIC. Anything prior to a certain item number cant be opened in Mac OSX, and I've heard of similar issues with PC owners and Vista. And yet DAZ continues to sell the item in question, full knowing that the user cant open it, which means it has to be returned, thus wasting the customer's time and DAZ's time and the credit card company's time.

Yes, now they've finally put something on the product page to the effect of "May not open in your OS", which means they might as well put a bright red slash across the product page that says DONT BOTHER! Never mind that the older products are still useful; that's irrelevant compared to the convenience of the installer...

Is that supposed to make any sense whatsoever?

You know, somehow, we all got along without such helping hands for years. I have no idea how we managed to cope. :)
