Quark 6 not going over that well (Service Bureau Perspective)

This will be interesting if Quark does become obsolete, I remember when Quark overtook Pagemaker in the early 90's when I was in college.

I guess you can never call someone out of the race.

Google Groups: View Thread: "I have no first hand experience (Our QXP 6 has not yet arrived) but have
been told by several people that opening a V5 or lower file with V6 is
actually more problematic then opening it with InDesign.

Quark has put themselves in a corner with this release. If V6 can only open
V6 files (without retouching needed), and V6 can only save back to V5...
well you do the math... it will be a good long time before this becomes an
acceptable prepress handoff. By that time InDesign 4 will be out, and Quark
goes the way of PageMaker."
