Apple Bundles InDesign With Power Macs

analog_line writes "Apple is firing a shot across the bow of Quark with a new promotion bundling Adobe InDesign 2.0 with every new PowerMac G4 (that is, the towers). News.com has a story on this as well. I say go Apple. Hopefully this will either get Quark to release their Mac OS X version of XPress or start the process of killing them off once and for all." I really liked QuarkXPress a lot when I used it extensively back in the version 3 days. It'd be a shame if it they lose out on Apple's new platform. But as a capitalist, I say, let the best product win!

Then why do you buy Macs?

You'll need to revisit your prefs page. Recently, /. added a collection of categories with titles of the pattern "Category (Apple)". There about a half-dozen; you'll need to check them all off. Even though I'm a Mac fan, this recent "explosion" of OS X banter on /. strikes me as out of character for the site.

I wonder if OSDN is trying to kill off MacSlash?

Look at those dirty rat bastards, Microsoft, bundling Internet Explorer in with the OS for free.

It is no wonder that Netscape couldn't compete.

It is rated a troll because I regulary cut through the "Steve Jobs reality distortion feild".

No one likes their distorted reality crushed, especially the hardened core of mac zealots that apple has been reduced to.

There are not as many "switchers" as Apple would have us belive. Plenty of "twitchers", people that like OS X but balk at the platform's inflated price and poor absolute performance.

This will get a poor mod also, even though I am just answering your question.
