Meanwhile, in the proprietary world, PageMaker is dying a slow and painful death and is no longer the behemoth of book production; FrameMaker has been losing ground as well. Adobe now pushes InDesign. QuarkXpress went years between updates on the Mac, still the dominant desktop publishing platform. With proprietary software, Culleton says, "[You] face the potential discontinuance of the product, just like users of the once excellent WordPerfect have found their own purgatory -- the Curse of Corel." ..."

    "...
    The January update addresses a weakness in the promise of two-way XML capability that I noted following the May 2002 release of FrameMaker 7.0. Unfortunately, Version 7.1's interoperability with Microsoft's Word continues to disappoint, and the leisurely pace of FrameMaker updates may not satisfy organizations whose documents originate in Microsoft applications and go to a publication department for final production."

XML and SVG junkies will surely find the upgrade worthwhile, too." [Review]
