To answer vinnie, all SM has to do is continue to make software that works, is fairly easy to navigate, and has documentation and bug fixes.  This will place them several light years ahead of daz without needing another new figure. And SM is a lot more than just Poser. 

I'd have to check, but I believe it's been at least four months since I've gotten anything from DAZ beyond pulling down 4.5 or whatever the number is now, and that was just to check the DL speed, got a new connection.  I don't check the daz store, too much wading through the genesis stuff trying to find something for the gen 3 or 4 characters that might be interesting.  Dropped PC months ago, I was buying nothing and didn't need the constant drain on my CC. 

I have Cararra, Bryce, Hex, DS4pro, but i've pulled them all out of my computers.  Don't know what the programmers problems are, but instability  and crashes aren't going to convince me to try them again. 

But daz going exclusively with the gene stuff, the equivalent of standing behind a recoilless rifle and pulling the lanyard.  (for those that don't know, the recoilless rifle is closer to a rocket than a gun, the propellent exhaust comes out the back, standing behind it is a good way to commit suicide.)

As far as the daz website,  I don't go there anymore, first, too confusing, second, too hard to read for me.  Might be fixes for that somewhere, but I'm not interested in finding them.
