I was just skimming through a copy of PC World (February 1991, pg 44) and came accross a side bar that rated Desktop Publishing packages. They surveyed 200 organizations, each with at least 50 PCs installed. Below is a copy of their findings: Installed Base Satisfaction Buying Plans Pagemaker 921 4.1 55% Ventura 499 3.9 14% First Publisher 127 3.8 12% Interleaf 109 4.4 5% Byline 52 3.8 * Other 256 4.2 12% Installed Base - the total number of each program used on all the sites. Satisfaction - on a scale of 1 (=low) to 5 (=high). Buying Plans - percent of sites that plan to buy more of installed program. * - not reported I hope this was helpful for people looking towards buying a PC DTP program.
