Hello all, I wanted to ask a question to the Poser community.  Right now, I own Poser 6 which falls under the Efrontier era lol but I plan on upgrading.  The thing is I’m not sure if I should go with Poser 8 or Poser Pro.  The link I have posted below is a very eye opening review on Poser 8...and Smith Micro itself.  I seen a lot of reviews complaining about the stability of Poser 8…but with high hopes that future patches will fix these bugs.  However, I’ve seen some that claim that even with these patches it’s still unstable. 

However, the more pressing issues….if that wasn’t bad enough…is that only people that own the Pro version own the content they create with the software… under the new Smith Micro license agreement! However, this reviewer (last review on the page under the name bunnyrabbit4) is the ONLY one I’ve heard  make that statement.  So, I wanted to know is it true… has anyone else heard this as well?  If it is…I guess it’s obviously better to go with not only the more stable platform but one that will give you full rights to the contents you create.
