I have only one thing to say about this "opensource like Linux!!!!!!" debacle, which is what runs down to most computer users who might be knowledgeable enough to use Linux but won't:

Most people wouldn't want to buy car parts and assemble their own car either. We want that car ready to be used, thanks.

You do realize that most open-sourced software is distributed not only as source code, but also as executables, right? Go to Blender.org right now, and you can get Blender in the format of your choice. Same with Linux, or GIMP, or Krita, or MAME, or any one of dozens of different open-sourced projects. No one is forced to have to recompile the source code. Why would an open-sourced Poser be any different?
