If you have seen any of the recent Windows 7 TV Ads you see a similar strategy,
You see happy, good looking suburbanite Families enjoying
their Kinect Cameras and uploading Cool colorful vids to Facebook . Not a tech oriented feature list About Win 7's  64 bit architecture,Multi-threading etc.

Wether DAZ will grow from this same approach remains to be seen but its clear they are looking outside the existing poser/ D.A.Z communities for growth.

What you seem to be missing is that few "families" purchase the new MS operating system.  They use it because it came with their new computer. 

MS upgrades happen because people buy new COMPUTERS not new operating systems.

Most MS outright purchases are tech folks refusing to use the new, bug ridden operating system and purchasing the older, stable operating system with which to replace the bug ridden one.

You're trying to equate buying habits that do not exist.
