Slightly smaller runtimes? Being able to look in a folder in Windows Explorer and actually see (from the thumbnail) what it contained, when the filename said something like "My Incredibly Cool Electric McFinster Complicator" - which you couldn't do with an RSR?

PNG is fairly ubiquitous - most browser/viewers support it. RSR? No. You need to open an (now older) version of Poser or DSx to see it. I see that as limiting.

I wasn't clear. I understand the switch to png's and am fully behind that - I was converting to them back when I had P4ProPack, after all. What I was talking about was removing Poser's ability to read rsr's at all. Converters are, as has been said, free but it did force an additional hastle on some customers who didn't really want it - that seemed needless.
