Quote - This will make it easier for vendors and testers.

On another note, you guys are spoiled :) a lot of applications have NO backward compatibility and often are expensive apps to purchase.

I agree we are spoiled ;o). Having said that tho, a lot of folks still are using older versions of Poser and the free version of D|S. It stands to reason that if you want to sell more things, you'll be compatible with at least the previous version of those programs. Not all, I agree with that (making things for Poser 4 and 5 now is kinda ridiculous), but at least for the latest free version of D|S and Poser 7. At the very least. Because Poser content is so sales-driven, it just makes good business sense and I'm surprised that Daz of all places is willing to abandon those versions. Wider audience, more sales...

Oh well...

Should I decide to again become a vender, I for one will continue to make things compatible to at least Poser 6. But I guess that's just me ;o).
