That matters, but IMHO is not remotely the reason people are so excited about Dawn. 

The reason this is exciting is that this is an actual company, presumably with venture capital behind it, run by people who have created successful companies in this field before.  The artistic and technical aspects are great, but the difference between Dawn and Antonia, GND, etc., is that Hivewire presumably has the business end worked out.  There are a bunch of people whose full-time jobs are to promote and support Dawn, and they have a plan to make her so successful they'll make enough money to pay those salaries.  The last time we had something like this was DAZ, with Mike and Vicky.

I think this is very well put. The difference is having a professional team with capitol to back it. That way there will be a steady stream of content from the creators. It may take some time, but if she does gain in popularity, more and more content creators will develop for her. Whether you use Poser or Daz, it doesn't matter, the market and content creators will adjust to sales, and I think it is exciting to have something new to work with.
