As Khory_D said above if Daz3D are interested in forming a Monopoly why are they adapting industry standard formats? In fact it's probably easier to prove Smith Micro would be more interested in a monopoly than Daz3D. I have heard personally from a number of Daz3D staff members that they would love Poser to come on board with the progression of the tech. What do SM have to say about the same subject? Daz3D isn't excluding SM, SM is falling behind the entire industry.

Also I'd be interested in seeing a reference or name of a vendor who is going to move back to V4 support only? And how will customers feel about the realisation that V4 is maybe as good as it is ever going to get for Poser users.
