it may be a bit extreme to say that SM has to die, given that:

• SM's sole source of revenue is not poser
• nobody has acknowledged testing the latest daz item in poser 9
• the daz models are not the sine qua non of 3d graphics
• nobody has mentioned any agreements between SM and daz
• the tail still doesn't wag the dog in 3d software AFAIK

anyway, we'll know soon enuff how it works, once the early adopters start trying it. if it's necessary to own D|S advanced to export the D|S figure properly, then they may sell poser-ready versions to increase revenue flow.
