OK, suppose a Mac guy really did build a PC to run his old Poser content under new Poser versions.  How about file format compatibility?  Since I've never used a PC, I don't know what the tricks are to transferring Mac content to a PC disk.  Could I say copy a folder of Poser content, .cr2 files for example, onto a USB drive, insert that drive into a PC, copy them to the PC hard disk then open them with a PC version of Poser?  No file format incompatibilities?

After viewing some videos on building a PC it looks not that hard but I am apprehensive about all the software issues a Mac guy would have to learn about.

Thx for the many useful, clarifying comments above.

Don't worry about this: they are 100% compatibles. I even have a NAS that I use to transfer Poser's project files and runtimes to each other.
I think that you could probably set the Windows PC as a dedicated computer, used only to compute through the Queue manager and stay on your Mac if you feel more at ease.
Windows has a slight advantage on Mac: your application can be dispatch on 2, even 3 screens, depending on your setup.
In my case, I am sharing 3 23" screen between my PC and my Mac (2 for the latter)
