Well, I for one can not really complain.

installed it in Windows XP Home, had some minor things, but nothing drastic.

Then I went to Windows 7 RC1, installed, and worked.

Only thnings i'v had:

Faceroom keeps asking for the foto again, when everything is done, and you "apply to".
Had one complete crash, using the Morph tool. But, neither I not SM can reproduce it.

Major problem seems to be in the material room, when trying older PZ3's if not all textures are correctly transferred from a previous version to P8.

So far I submitted about 10 tickets,
2 for crashes, and 8 for improvements.

So far, the best solutions seem.
Update video drivers.
Reboot afeter first install.
Be sure all textures are in their correct folders.

2 things that could be improved upon:

  1. release before completely understanding all the details of the IDL. Discussions we see here
  2. i would use a little more "very active"  beta testers, just to be on the safe side, and understand the IDL completely.

2 briljant things.

  1. great models with a lot of morphs

  2. fantastic to include the very usable Low Res versions.

A fault, that it is so hard to copy morphs from the low to the hig res versions.(Still do not know how it can be done even if the poly count is correct, and poser imports the morph without a glitch.

All in all, a very good base, and with a well tested SR1, a welcome improvement.
