It's not me they need to have sleepless nights about, it's the non-buying public who are and will continue to move to Linux and the mighty Blender ;-)

You missed the point completely, I was not able to participate in the survey I was perfectly happy to participate in!

It would surely be better for them if the survey allowed us to answer the questions we want, and avoid those that we don't.  That way, they would have gotten some information out of me instead of nothing at all.  I'm quite happy to do surveys like this as long as I'm not pushed around.  I was not prepared to check one of the OS boxes, simply because of the arrogance shown by not listing Linux as an OS.

Through not being able to select Linux, I decided not to answer the question, and by avoiding the question, SM wouldn't let me continue with the survey.
Their loss, not mine, because if Poser isn't what I need, I simply won't buy it, there's always the mighty Blender (on native Linux as well).

Unfortunately, the system they have chosen for the survey is very 'Apple-like' in that it is pushy and manipulative, and as you know, I don't do Apple either.

What you effectively have, is this:
SM - Do us a favour, answer them all, or none at all.
ME - OK, fuck off then, you learn nothing - I don't take orders from software publishers :-)

It's called not being a muppet, but on the other hand, if they want to remove the pushiness, I'm still more than happy to dedicate some of my time to them and fill out the parts of the survey that I (not them) decide is going to be filled out.

And one other thing that ought to be mentioned is the idiotic take SM seem to have on the whole thing.
How many of us use the "Animation Tools" in Poser?

Well, considering how prehistoric those tools are, I'm guessing not many are gonna say yes to that one.  People don't animate in Poser because it's shit for animation and the rendering is too slow - so it's pretty obvious as to what the overwhelming response to that one will be.  Does that mean SM will take the massive amount of non-animation users as an indication that the tools should not be updated?

Let's hope not, for the programs sake, and I myself am literally hanging on to Poser by a thread right now (planning to drop it due to the pathetic animation system).  The only reason I've not dropped it completely already is because I'm waiting to see what Reallusion do with the built-in PBR system they have coming soon.  If it turns out to be good, and Poser doesn't come up with a modern, usable animation system to keep people interested in power, there's no prizes for guessing where I, and just about every would-be animator will be heading in the not too distant future.

Best thing SM can do is learn to use iClone and understand why people praise it's animation system so much - and take it from there - that simple.

SM don't have a choice but to put some major effort into Poser's animation system, so questions like do you use the animation tools, assuming that actually existed, is quite worrying to be honest.  Animation should be the main focus of the next release because it's just mind-numbingly out of date and pathetic!
