Sorry bulldog, unlike you, I don’t use cracked software so I haven’t gotten version 8 since I don’t see a need for it. I’m happy with version 7 and it does everything I need so I’m not about to fork out $600 for a new version.
i think you can download a trial version from maxon.
after reading the release notes, it does have some nice stuff (not that i’m about to go out and dish out the money either) like quicker rendering times for large scale projects and a new mode (like polygon and points) called grid.

**Yes I think the radiosity renderer is much enhanced and as I said previously it has the HDRI renderer for ultra realistic reflections…
EG do you get any retail for upgrading from 7.0 to 8 ??? **
I got version 7 over a year ago on a student program so I don’t get a free upgrade, it was part of my school’s tuition.
But so far I haven’t found a need to upgrade yet. =)
