I don't wanna fight with you Traci, I just want you to stop. What damage or hurt am I doing you by using the software that I choose to use? The answer is none. And neither is anyone else. This one-person vendetta has got to end. It's not good for you or anyone else. And it certainly isn't good for the forum. I had valid concerns/questions about the new version. I can't gush over Poser all the time if it's not how I feel about things. I don't gush over DS EITHER. There are things i like, and don't like, about both. So why don't we leave it at that?

I have no more reason to stop expressing my opinion than you do.  Why is it you think yours has more value? I have said several times that I believe this is nothing more than the extension of Poser's philosophy.

The folks with the top of the line computers HAVE multiple GPU options already - Octane, iRay, Reality (the new version will require a fairly new computer), so giving the Poser users who don't have top of the line computers is a huge advantage from SM and plays into their philosophy of ensuring backward compatibility.

By doing so, they are inclusive of a base of users the others are leaving behind.

I have a GPU capable video card. The decision doesn't affect me, but I can say I find that an excellent business decision on SM's part.

I found the way, and the opportunity you took, to address your concerns to be nothing more than an unnecessary slam in a SNEAK PEEK thread opening the flood gates for all the rest that followed.
