Unity Assets without Unity?

Has anyone had any experiencing using Unity Assets without Unity installed? I was interested in knowing how feasible it would be to extract and convert the assets to, say, FBX to import and convert over to Poser and if rigged figures retain any rigging? There is currently a large asset sale with some great looking creatures I would love to add to my character collection for my Sci-Fi and fantasy projects, but If it would require me to also buy and install unity it is just not worth it (the sale would give me over 60 creatures, aliens, and animals among other assets I care less about for around $40).

If anyone has done this I would love to hear thoughts and possible snags to expect.

This turned out to be a bad idea. Turns out assets from the unity store can only be downloaded into Unity it seems. I could not get Unity to run on Win 7 despite official claims of still having compatibility.
