How much I would like to see the Mac platform from the point of view of a Windows user. It must just seem like another brand of computer. Things we keep hearing like $1500 for $900(?) of hardware circle around in my head as I search it for meaning. The debate as to which system to release Poser 5 on first are weighted by the routine that Curious Labs were in financial trouble and possibly also in trouble with EGI-SYS. Its presumed by some that maybe CL should merge with DAZ and by others that they should sellout completely, and theyre saying TO APPLE. That makes sense doesnt it? Poser returns to its roots for a recharge, releases one final version for WinPC, and becomes a kick dick 3D application. Support for the various other platform versions continues for one year after which said users go back to 3Dsmax etc and abandon Poser to what must not be a very large portion of the 3D on PC community. BTW, for want of a bit of information, does anyone know, (not think, know) what the percentage is of Poser licencing on PC compared to the variety of applications available for that platform? Is it about 2 or 3 percent? If so, why use Poser at all if one has a choice? How much would you be prepared to pay if the purchase price went into 3 figures. Marque (NEVER buy a Mac, blah blah hardware etc) Wasnt that the argument for not getting WIN95? You didnt get suckered into getting that did you?
