McIlroy--Winning Battles, Losing Wars

For several years, the two companies fought the upgrade battle, challenging one another on the quality and quantity of new features, but Quark emerged the consistent winner. Back in the labs, Adobe continued to labor on the Quark-killer it unveiled at Seybold last month.

The challenge is an interesting one, while the victor has yet to be decided. Had the Web never emerged as an alternate publishing medium, I'd be declaring Adobe the likely winner today. Instead, in this Webbed world, I'm just not certain.
