History
QuarkXPress 1.0 was first released in 1987 for classic Mac OS, followed by a Windows version in 1992. It quickly overtook Aldus PageMaker as the dominant application of the desktop publishing market, reaching 95% market share in the 1990s. Adobe Systems acquired PageMaker and then released a completely redesigned application as Adobe InDesign in 1999. InDesign was the first to be ported to Mac OS X with features like anti-aliasing, while Quark CEO Fred Ebrahimi taunted classic Mac OS users of QuarkXPress to switch to Windows. By 2004, Quark had lost 25% of its market share to Adobe, and eventually ceded its market leadership to InDesign.
