Well, I'm just going to add my 2 cents.

 

I was a very loyal DS user; of DS2 and DS3A.  Bought all the plugins, spent all the money, even did my commercial development in DS.

I took one look at the DS4 BETA and upgraded Poser 7 to Poser 8 with plans to move up to Poser2010. 

I will never again touch that Fischer Price piece of software.  It's garbage; junk written for tweens.  See Gizmoz.com and you'll understand EXACTLY who DAZ thinks are their customers now.  Then, you'll understand the UI.

I'll use DS3A for testing until it dies, but I'll never install DS4 on one of my computers - not even for my grandkids to play the Daz version of The Disney Fairies.
