I've had a ton of crashing myself, but I'm hanging on for the service pack.  (Yes, I've done all the updated drivers and every other suggestion.) 

IDL is cool.  The library is nice. Some of the new content is fun to have. But, cross-bodypart morphing is "da bomb"!!!   That's worth it for me because I love to sculpt.

Right now, I'm bouncing between Poser Pro and Poser 8 based on what task I'm doing.  Once Poser 8 is more stable, I'll use that exclusively.  If the service release doesn't fix my crashing, I'll be knocking SM's door--not for refund but resolution.

(Oh, I do sorely miss the P4 render engine like you, JAG. Sniff.)
