To be honest though, I believe that Poser's "death" would actually be the worse thing that could happen to DAZ. I know that sounds strange, but while I was never a fan of Studio's existence, I do believe that it make's Poser a better program. If they didn't cling so hard to the mantra of backward compatibility, which I actually believe is holding it back, it would be an even better program. Likewise, I believe that if Poser "died" Studio would pretty much just stop trying. I also don't think it would be free any longer, but that's off on another tangent.
