I am thinking that if E-frontier gives Poser 5 by free through CP, Poser 7 must have some new features that imporves P5 a lot.

I just pre-orderd Poser 7 figuring they need the cash to finish the product that we all eventually user.  Since I am in the software business, I appreciate how much it costs to really test a product as complex as poser.  You do the best you can with the budget you have (determined by how many will buy and how much they will pay).  As a community, if we want to keep the price from reaching the hi-end product costs, we basically sign-on as testers.  For those of you who want to wait until the early adopters ring out all the bugs that is your choice.  I kind-of like testing and enjoy letting the programmers know when they missed something.  As for my hopes, it would be for poser 7 to use the full power of my PC: memory, dual-core processor and graphics card with lots of memory.  Yah, I hate waiting for renders too.
