Quote - Why release the one popular Poser figure you have to such a proprietary base? Miki's rigging makes her incompatible with earlier versions of Poser and Daz Studio, so any potential sales to those people are just... lost.

DAZ products aren't guaranteed to work with any version of Poser prior to Poser 8, either. ..

Steph 4 and Freak 4 don't work well with Poser 7 and prior.  I've seen a render of  Miki 3 in Poser 7, so she will load, but I'm sure she doesn't bend as well as in Poser 8 or PP2010.

If you read the Vicki 5 thread over at DAZ, it's likely V5 probably will not be compatible with the current versions of Poser or Studio.  Progress comes at a cost, and one of those is backward compatibility...
