As a Poser user I can say that I haven't switched and I'm not likely to do so any time soon, free version of DS Pro or not. Nothing I've seen of Genesis has struck me as anything I thought I had to have. Besides, there are a lot of improvements with this last version of Poser, subsurface scattering for more realistic skin, weight mapping (which is what Genesis uses, but is not compatible with Poser's), improved dynamic hair, among other things. As far as I know, DS still doesn't have dynamic hair and the dynamic cloth is still proprietary - meaning you can't import your own meshes. Deal breaker for me ;).

Oh, and welcome back :)
