I would definitely see this as geared towards being an "Educational" or "Beginners" product. I could see schools forking out multiple licenses of this for students to learn on where they'd balk at multiple licenses of the full program.

I still say that just the fact that they're going back to pushing it in Real World physical box stores is a good thing for the market. It will definitely increase market awareness of the program. That's a good thing ain't it?

It's certainly not geared towards me as an experienced user but I can reccommend the Debut program to people who want to dip their feet into Poser and not DAZ Studio. It will also get beginners back into Poser's interface first and not expect them to learn DS's interface before jumping to Poser. It just makes good sense to me.
