Re: Giving In To The New World!
-----------------------------------
Still the best person qualified to answer is Poser - User, as he has animated with Poser 4 (pro version).  There is also a thread by him where he was having difficulty applying poses for Posette on a newer Poser version, though more to do with poses intended for a newer figure.

I've used Posette and Dork on Poser 6/7/8/9/10 (Pro & Game Dev Pro), with no issues when manually posing or when applying previously converted poses. I've had no issues with the standard Firefly renders either.  As a note Poser Debut, is not a complete Poser, best used by artists for their pose work.

Having not upgraded Poser since Poser 10, I can't judge newer versions of Poser.

Poser 11 and beyond use a render engine based on cycles (called SuperFly), so the old materials may need adjustments to get the look you want or remember.

On using XP/W7/8/10, I've found Poser 6/7, to be the most stable across the platforms.  Stay away from Poser 8, which should not work on W8/10.

If you hunt on ebay you can watch your wallet, and get a more recent version of Poser, not the latest but for a lot cheaper, just be patient for your desired version to show up.

I'm quite happy using Poser 6 and Poser 9 for the old and weight mapped characters respectively.  However for my unfinished Posette/Dork development work I'll need to re-install Poser 10/Pro (where I can sub-divide, and weight map amongst other things).
