Too slow for the V4 question.

As far as the Studio hanging on exit, I saw a thread on DAZ forums were they admitted that Studio was trying to phone home to notify crash information (apparently they were going to remove this "feature").

Quote - OK. here we go once again, and I really do hate to repeat myself. Yes when you Uninstall studio 4 CMS is left behind. As I have said and repeated and repeated CMS is a seperate uninstall. You can uninstall it at any time and it wont effect studio 4 or genesis. Just means you have an empty smart content tab.

Have faith in DAZ Apple-like content store. I am sure that they will manage to force you to have the CMS installed and running in order to buy stuff (otherwise it would not be different from what happens today).
