"Sorry Who3d, but this is just a continuation of all the doom and gloom and naysaying carried over from another thread, and all based on sheer specualtion."

No, this is a topic hit on in another thread that I feel needs to be discused. I'd feel better if I could discuse it elsewhere, but that simply isn't plauseable.

I did say there was a lot of speculation to that, but no, not as much as you would like to think.

I presented my specualtion based on what I know. Richard countered with his. No argument, each are plausable. No one knows for sure.

My car has a spare, I have a plot and stone paid for. It's called being prepared. I'm a pessimist, I always expect the worst, so I am never disapointed ;) I am however pleasently surprised quite often; even by DAZ.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, no big deal. But what if I am right? Are you prepared to do busness with DAZ under the circumstances I describe?

Even if CMS is just this handy little helper that undates your content for you while you work. Why? Do people really spend that much time updating content? In the past month I have update 4 pieces, took me 5 minutes, takes longer for me to smoke a ciggeret. Honestly how much time do you spend; that is whom ever is reading this, updating DAZ content? Is it really enough to warrent having an app running in the background to do it for you?

If the virtual store is a volentary thing, fine, leave it to those that need DAZ to wipe their butts form them. I don't need help dowloading my content. I don't need help installing my content; other then a faster less complex installer. I don't need help finding my content. I've said this enough it aught to be on my tomb stone. I know where my content is because I put it there. 

Even if this is no more then to make it easier for newbies to install and use content, I don't think completely taking it out of their hands is the answer. I think simpler tools and better instructions would be a much better solution to the problem.
