Personally I don't have a problem if CL has already received the funds from my pre-order of Poser 5. We already know it's 'out' - we're pretty well aware of ppl in the community who are beta testers, so it's not like they're looking to screw us over or that the company is gonna fold between now and us getting our software. I think they did the right thing in allowing us to buy/order it before the release date - look at how many people were clamoring at them for it! L In any case, we are still protected by FTC laws - do a little research and you'll see. CL is not going to risk their company over any kind of fraud.
