Hmm.  DS4 installed, give it a run, okay.  Didn't crash right away.  But, while realizing that machine is only 1.6ghz and only has 4 gb memory, S   L   O   W   !  Steady by jerks.

Comparing with P7 which I also have on the same machine, DS4 seems to have so far as it's main attribute, waiting for it.  P7 also does not operate smoothly as in my good one, but I'd say it's roughly four to six times faster. (P7vs DS4)

However, as the interface has yet again changed from the first release, not so far that I couldn't find things, working with the default content is probably all I'll be doing with it for some time to come, and that may never change.  I may someday figure out how to get it to search for other content, but that's not a priority yet.  This is the free version, so none of the more advanced features now, maybe never, I don't know.  I give it a play for about a week, but some documentation might be helpful.  Hint, Randall!

Didn't find where to turn on IK, maybe it's not included?  Some option to get rid of the kiddy symbols and have pull down menus instead might be nice, not to mention a hell of a lot faster than "click this, no, not that one, click this, Oh.  That's what that does."  Click on them all and eventually you might find the one you're looking for.  Which is why I hate kiddy symbols.  I still remember how to read words.

Anyhow, I give it a weeks play, but so far, I've seen nothing that would cause me to spend money on additional functions and/or other content packages.  Oh, yeah.  The shortcut to the DAZ store, when the computer isn't on line is kinda wasted.  It go bye-bye.  But I'm gonna treat it like someone that has a limited connection and has to figure out everything themselves, without help.  I'll keep you updated.  Hopefully it won't be another monitor that goes black because my fist went through it.  That's happened before a couple of times.
