IMO, you have to take these "testimonials" with a few grains of salt. These people are probably getting at least a free copy of Poser 6 in return for their reviews, and possibly other compensation. Plus, CL sure wouldn't release any reviews that were less than glowing.

That said...one of the reviewers did say that the cloth and hair rooms work much better now, which I take as a good sign. And the fact that they've dumped Windows 98 and Windows ME compatibility overboard is also a good thing. Legacy support often makes software bloated and unstable, IME.
