People want to do away with backwards compatibility. I get that maybe we don't need to have posset in poser anymore. But what about the hundreds of props we've acquired over the years that look great with a new shader on it? And furniture that's rigged. Dressers that open and close. I even have a set dishes that load as figures (I don't know why.) How many of us can afford to replace all of that?

And Laurie, I don't care if they replace the hair room. If they can come up with something practical to use, I'd remake all my hair. I played a little with daz's strand hair and could do in an evening what it takes me weeks to so in poser.

To this day, I don't understand what eclark means, even though I've tried to understand it several times.

Poser is able to load content made for older versions. DAZ Studio is able to load content made for older versions.. Photoshop is able to load images created in older versions of Photoshop. Word documents created in older versions of Word can be loaded in Word. BUT ... you cannot save in any of these applications and expect all of the features you add in the new version to be compatible with earlier versions of the software.

In all the above cases, that is what "backward compatibility" means to me.

As far as cutting down the amount of legacy content furnished with Poser, yeah, I hear that. Big time I hear that.
