I looked at this software when I was beginning my study of rigging.
I went with something more conventional but for hobbyists and people on a strict budget that do not have access to student discounts, I think software like IClone and DAZ (for example) can be very useful learning tools, as well as great creative outlets.
If your passion is for CG, and you don't have much money. Ask your self if you would be happier doing nothing, or, happier doing something on a limited scale? If you just want in, then at least these new hobby softwares can let you try.
Of course I would make sure I could not get what I wanted before I took something else. As it is, the package offered in the OP can do a lot.
No idea if the post can be trusted though.
