Pre-Press (Score 2, Interesting)

I work in pre-press and over the last few years PDF has come to completely dominate, and make everybodys job a LOT easier. Microsofts awful attempt at a desk top publishing package "Publisher" is the single most awful piece of software I have ever encountered. I don't doubt the people who developed it have an incredible knowledge of software development and design, but their knowledge of commercial printing processes, professional design and pre-press technicalities is absurd to the point of insulting. The thought of the, perhaps flawed, but incredibly useful PDF format been superceded by a publisher like abberation makes me want to find a new job.
