Considering the deceitful way SM introduced the deadly deactivation feature with Game Dev I struggle to see how SM did Poser users any favours then or after they sacked the dev team.  I am much happier that Poser is in the hands of Bondware than being left under the ownership of SM.

I agree 100%. SM's ownershp of Poser was a disaster in the long term. I was a journalist at the time, and I could tell you one or two stories about my interactions with them, but frankly, I don't want the potential legal hassles. Suffice it to say, I NEVER respected the company. For a while, Steve Cooper over there was one of the good guys, but my opinion of him underwent a radical revision just before he left.
