eWeek reveals a previously little published factoid... that besides Apple switching to OS X-Only come 2003... Quark will be Mac OS X-Only as well with its next revision of QuarkXPress:
- Now Quark has announced the end of the line for XPress on Mac OS 9; not only will the new version run on Mac OS X only, Quark's Therrien said, it will comprise a different code base from XPress 5.0not simply an upgrade optimized for Apple's Carbon APIs.
As the article discusses, this may be the source of some growing pains for companies making the switch, forcing both Application and OS upgrades at the same time.
