  that I'd actually call InDesign 'snappy'...It's actually 'snappy', besides all of the other improvements, the one that just smacked me upside my was its speed. Good work Adobe. I've already dumped Quark, but I'm sure that this rev will really cement the deal for many on the fence.

  Summary

  Since we are in the offical MAC OS X area for reviews, I will say we purchsed a CS Suite (1 license) and I have sucessfully installed it on 2 machines not on a LAN. (MAC version). I will also say I love ID3. We do 12 catalogs a year. My company makes a great deal of money from them (50 page cats). Anyway, our printers dogged Quark and told us (the client) that if we prefer InDesign CS, they will buy it also to move away from Quark. I was pretty relieved to hear that since I just started building a new test catalog with CS. I am not experienced in ID but the basic improvements over Quarks laziness to innovate seem so... DUH! As a designer, who hates redundantcy, I congratulate Adobe for their dedication to their craft. Monopoly or not, it just makes sense. It works like a real app. I was ready to kill Quark for all the money spent on 3 full versions which turned out to be slow, and frustrating under deadlines. Crap. So, for my week of happy discoveries and testing, I give Adobe what they deserve. We make money, and it's all because of them when you look at the tools. From the frontlines.. thanx Adobe.

  "InDesign Rock Solid"

  Summary

  We switched to InDesign about a year and a half ago, when we made the jump to OSX. We had been a QuarkXPress shop for over 10 years. Now that we are using InDesign, it's nearly impossible to think of doing my job without it. It has EVERYTHING over Quark, including the ability to write PERFECT PDFs of even the most complicated layouts. Everything we do - ads, collateral, even some web stuff - is done using InDesign (more than 1000 jobs per year). Great job, Adobe - looking forward to 3.0

  "Versiontracker Censorship?!"

  Version: Adobe InDesign Trial 2.0.2

  Summary

  Look at the review dates. What happened to the countless POSITIVE comments and feedback that were posted here during the past YEAR?! It looks as if someone deleted all of them and left the old negative comments from the previous and more problematic versions of ID used with older versions of OS X.
  
  I am starting to find the comments and ratings on VT to be of little value with such occurrences.
  
  I have been using ID 2.02 with OS X 10.2.6 for sometime without any problems. I have experienced no problems with output, stability or speed. The selectable (full, optimized, draft) resolution previews, enhanced typography and excellent user interface make it a much better solution than Quark.
