I've been an early adopter every version since Poser5 & every time just after that they dropped the price or added in something else to sweeten the deal for new customers.

I've also been using Poser since Version 1 & EVERY version has had defects, every one of them has issues that required fixes, some of them have never been fixed & carry over to the next version even up to Poser8. That hasn't put me off buying the next version & it wont as long as I have a PC that can handle the next version.

ps, a lot of the people working on Poser8 worked on Poser5+, only the company name really changed.
