Re: QuarkXPress 7 vs Adobe InDesign CS

Oh Ok. Yes Peter, I will be glad to share the key consideration guiding my
decision.  I can understand your point about discussions pointing out the
weaknesses or strengths of a product. I stand educated 'coz I didn't really
know about this. But the Quark vs InDesign affair is something totally
different. These guys have taken rivalry to a different level altogether,
and looking at their forums and blogs the companies have been exploiting
even the smallest of comments.

I am listing out the key factors, and will put them up in my next post.
That, I guess, is the best thing to do. Thank you for clarifying this for
me....
