Quote - We can get partial indications on D|S (CNET shows 2.2 million total downloads of D|S for Windows, and almost 260,000 downloads for OSX), but no concrete numbers. No indications at all for Poser, however... nobody's talking numbers there. 

Those are total numbers since the first 0.I don't remeber build. Divide by the number of actual releases (and point ones) and then divide by at least two to take into account people that download things just to have a look at them and you have rough estimate of the people who are (and, like me, used to be) Studio users.

Doing the math (for everybody that pretends not to be able):

• 3 major versions;
• at least 3 (if not 4) point releases for each major release;
• the 2 factor for "collectors";

and you get 2.2 million / ~20 = 100K users (at most).

Bye...

P.S.: dear manleystanley... they ban you twice... and you are defending them?
