Apple blamed again for Quark's failings

Par-for-the-course summation of industry anxieties concerning Apple's attempts to sell OS X-only Macintoshes. Compares Microsoft's continued support for 1996-flavour NT (due to end this year) with Apple's more aggressive 3-year cutoff marker. Associated's Alan Marshall says it's all too soon. As usual the crunch issue is the absence of an OS X-native QuarkXPress. XPress 6.0 has, allegedly, been seeded for beta testing. Some hints from Glen Turpin on CopyDesk: "QuarkCopyDesk will also be upgraded to run on OS X, Turpin said. But Quark has yet to determine whether its Quark Publishing System server offering, QuarkDispatch, will be upgraded."
