Yes, this is the problem for poser, once someone has invested in content for DS they are unlikely to switch to poser and ditch the content they have bought or jump through the hoops of dson import, especially if the 200usd was the issue in the first place.

Clearly Rendo has to keep the additional content free with poser behind the serial number block, but perhaps an illustrated catalog of this content could be made available for download with the free 21 day trial download. This would allow a fair comparison, new users could try both programs, look at what content they could buy for 200usd for DS and see what content they would get by spending that money on Poser 11 pro

Never intimated that it was a problem JUST for Poser. In fact, a few people I know said they switched over from DS TO Poser primarily because they didn't either like the UI, or the rendering system or they preferred certain things about Poser that were different. It doesn't always have to be about content. In fact, I do have DS on my computer. It's an older version and if I check my product library at DAZ they probably have several of the newer versions in there. And if it were just a content thing, I survived the first few years of Poser, prior to my joining Renderosity or DAZ, downloading freebies from the internet, so after my initial cost, which I believe at the time was quite more significant $199, I didn't actually BUY any content for Poser for almost two years. My point is, Aeilkema's friend could easily do the same with Studio, I'm sure, if she really doesn't want to invest too much money to just to see if she likes it.

Also, don't forget, Poser does come with a 21 day free trial.
