When you buy a car, are you upset that a new version comes out every year and you have to keep your car for 4 years?
Why is software any different? If Poser doesn't improve until you're ready to upgrade, then what should they do, go home for 2 years?
I am not really upset about it; I guess I didn't elaborate enough. Honestly it is great that these types of programs are changing with the times to utilize the latest technology, and obviously it is expected, just like every other industry. What I meant is that everytime I think about upgrading I find out that an even newer version will released in a few months, so then I wait. And then after I wait and look at the changes made in the even newer version, not much has really changed at all. It just seems like Poser isn't advancing as fast as it really should be, and when I look at versions that are even two ahead of where I am, they really don't seem, at least at face value, very different. I am the kind of person that jumped from the SNES to the PS2, and I will probably be the guy to jump from the Poser 6 to Poser 9. I guess I am just hesitant to spend on new technologies, that though still an improvement, are still far from what I am looking for.
In short, it isn't really that I am put off by newer versions being released, but that the newer versions don't seem that much different and have not fixed many of the issues that so many people here have.
