If it is true, then there must be a sensible and progressive reason for it. For a program to advance, it needs to make the most of the advances in the new OS's, if that's the case, then either upgrade your OS or be happy with the version of Bryce you have! I still use Bryce 4 (on Mac OS 9.2.2) far more than 5 simply because of the little niggly bugs that slow down 5's interface and menu bar on redraws etc. plus apart form the tree lab, and better light labs, it offers no great advantages over 4, as the extended rendering times with fx on are ludicrous for any serious pro users needing hi res images for print! - these things can all be added with a bit of masked rendering and photoshop with more control and a fraction of the time! When I eventually venture forth in to OSX, hopefully Bryce 5 will run more smoothly, and in turn, if Bryce 6 is a much better program, with a faster renderer and higher functionality that I need, then upgrading the OS is part and parcel of progress! :) Personally I feel that Brycetech is over reacting since just because Corel may choose not to support an older OS anymore with their newer, better product, doesn't mean the community will stop using their trusty old version 4's. :)
