The trouble with quoting facts and figures about a software program is that, in a lot of cases, no source is given for that information.  Information drawn from forums is rarely valid as most users do not visit forums and included in those are many that remain in lurk mode.  Other sources may have an agenda of their own to promote so working out how accurate information may be is difficult if not impossible.  Comparisons are often invalid because they are compering apples with pears in many cases.  Information from 'those in the know' is highly suspect as most people who are really in the know would not be allowed to share the information (unless you are a 21 year old working to intelligence apparently). 

Then there are those how can see into the future, such as all those that have seen the death of Poser for every one of the 22 years I have been using it.   Like the hypochondriac who had 'Told you I was ill' written on their grave stone, the soothsayers will be right at some point.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
