Pfeiffer says QuarkXPress Lags Behind
InDesign CS 02/01/2005 10:05 PM
Pfeiffer Consulting has conducted an "independent, high-level technology analysis of Adobe InDesign CS and QuarkXPress 6.x, in order to allow decision makers in the publishing industry to evaluate the comparative strengths of both applications." IT-Enquirer has interpreted that study (saving us 295 Euros if we are willing to trust their summary) in this article and has come to the conclusion: "Stay Away from QuarkXPress 6.5...Pfeiffer found frequent and reproducible crashes, and serious reproducible dysfunctions of existing product functionality. The problems were so severe that a system's data integrity was in peril. Pfeiffer therefore warns against deploying version 6.5 without checking if Quark has solved the problems found by Pfeiffer."

I think the folks in the QuarkXPress Commiseration Area of our Forums could have saved both organizations a bit of time and money as they have all experienced these issues first hand...these issues and many others.

QuarkXPress Lags Behind InDesign CS? Well, DUH!
