Rob, no problem there. I thought you were teasing me. And about the codes for P5, things like that, instead of protecting their software (and you all know people are STILL gonna crack it) it will make people mad (as we are witnessing here) and most of them (including me, I believe) will NOT buy the product. See, I was going to buy WinXP, but when I heard you had to ask for Microsoft's permission to install the software, I said "to hell with it." I COULD get a cracked version of WinXP, but that's not the point. The point is I will not use that software, legally bought or pirated, of a company that will do stuff like this. And I'm still in Win98 and I will NOT upgrade! Thing is, I really, really like Poser, and Poser 5 looks extremely good with the hair and cloth thingies...but I don't feel like buying it now that I see it works with that "new code for every install" rule. Hell, what if people's fears come true and Curious Labs closes shop in, say, two years? What if people have to reformat their drives and they wanna install P5 again, and it asks for a new code? What then? How many angry, loyal, honest, paying customers are gonna feel cheated then? If you want to put a code, well, put a code. But a new code every time you gotta install the software? That's ridiculous!
