I have every faith CL will (eventually) fix the bugs in Poser 5. I don't. Why? Because almost every day I run headlong into a bug in Poser 4. I haven't seen any evidence that the future won't echo the past. SHOULD DAZ make a Poser like program that can use the current Poser figures and Props? Absolutely! To echo Questor, true competition in business is always a good thing. It inspires innovation and lowers prices. And beyond that, I'd just like a choice. Not all of us do the same kinds of art and so not all of us have the same needs. It would be great to have more than one program, so we could chose which one will work best for us.
