DAZ hasn't really positioned DS to go after the corporate Poser customers. At first, DS didn't even have a manual. Not many businesses are going to buy into software with no manual.
There's a manual now, but they still don't seem to be marketing DS for the corporate customer. You go to their web site, and the splash screen is fantasy or SF, or pinup type stuff. I remember for awhile, their splash screen was Vicky in a flesh-colored bikini. She looked nude, and I didn't even want to visit their web site at work for fear that people would think I was looking at pr0n.
Poser always had a more corporate look (with the possible exception of when EF was in charge). People in contemporary clothing, toon characters in business suits, human figure schematics without a lot of detail. Remember how surprised people were when Rosity used a glamor/pinup pic of LF for the Poser "box"? Nobody would have been surprised if DAZ used an image like that to represent DS.
