Quote - It is obvious that DAZ bought a reality distortion field generator at Steve Job's estate sale.

DAZ (or any company for that matter) SHOULD have attended Steve Job's estate sale, in hopes of coming away with some inkling how to turn out innovative products that are stunningly succesful even among the Apple-bashing camp, despite the fact said products usually cost more. That's a business model to emulate.

Is anybody really surprised that SM has put Poser 9 / 2012 on sale a few days after Daz made DS4 Pro free? Daz will doubtless point to that as an example of how its giveaway is changing the industry. SM, of course, was planning this sale all along and it has nothing to do with the DS4 Pro giveaway. (cough)
