Check out macosxlabs.org. They've got TONS of good info. I'm facing a deployment of OS X this spring and I'm not looking forward to it.
Also, read Apple's white paper entitled "Mac OS X with Active Directory" in PDF format at:
As a person who is heavily involved in the print/prepress world, I can solidly say that the industry (one of the largest on earth) won't be dropping PDF any time soon.
A lot of printing companies have switched to a PDF workflow; there's a whole industry built around plugins and RIPs built to handle Acrobat files.
If that's not enough, check out the AP's ad submission process. Yep, PDF.
Ask yourself this: did MS Publisher kill Adobe inDesign? Nope, it was laughed at.
Microsoft keeps people like me in business, because I can charge big bucks to Best Buy Bob who picked up some beige box and MS Publisher to do his company newsletter and "save a few dollars."
Save Karyn was the catalyst of all the copycat "begging" sites currently polluting cyberspace. I'm not fully against begging, but I'll just say this: if the demand/business model is good enough, there's no need to beg. Obviously, if the Perl Journal is indisposable, they wouldn't have to beg for subscribers for the purpose of survival...
I've been a Quark loyalist for years, and almost took a job with them last year. I'm so glad I didn't, because since then:
1) They've moved most of their programming to India.
2) They've fired some of their sales reps around Chicagoland.
3) One of their big guns as far as keeping corporate customers happy has left Quark and started a company that consults businesses migrate from QuarkXPress to InDesign.
I'm losing faith in Quark by the minute. Version 5 was a complete waste of time. Luckily, 50 percent of my job consists of simply trying to keep QuarkXPress running on 60 machines without crashing. Another 30 percent is spent restoring jobs from backup that got corrupted when QuarkXPress crashed, and the last 20 percent is figuring out how our in-house asset management system can be modified to work with InDesign instead of QuarkXPress...
You totally took the words right out of my mouth. Don't forget that these.com clowns, who drove their own industry into the ground with the "new economy" crap, are the same ones who turned the internet into a wasteland of spam and popups. Good riddance.
Now we can finally get back to doing what we were doing before the Circus Came To Town.
It's almost comical how ignorant people can be.
Do you realize that 95 percent of printed materials, including just about every catalog, magazine, and book you see is built on a Macintosh? Printing is one of the largest industries in the world.
To those who say print is dead: try sitting on your toilet with your laptop.
