I would want SM to concentrate on the software, with the proviso that they do supply rigged dolls.  Rigged people are beyond the capabilities of all but a few end users, plus we need common base dolls if we are to make content for each other.

     Instead of completely new dolls with each release, I would prefer SM to develop, refine, and perfect a set of dolls incrementally.  That is, each Poser release would see an updated/improved edition of a standard Poser doll chassis set. 

     That being said, I think they are wise to supply all that content -including the legacy dolls- with a purchase of Poser.  It gives the newbie a good start on building a library.

Poser 12, in feet.
