As soon as OmniGraffle 3.0 comes out, being able to make documents, I will not need Acrobat, never really have. Though it would be nice to be able to make links but I really could do with out.

I wonder if version 6 will mean an even more bloated and antique app (e.g. have you noticed how scroll wheels don't work in Acrobat, though it's probably one of the foremost apps that could use one? - and the size of the basic reader...), or will they do their best to make a state of the art, small in size, quick in speed little cocoa application?
They cannot sell a 3MB application for 300 bucks because customers can come to suspect that they are robbed in broad daylight. Expect a mega-package with minimum requirements that none of Apple hardware will meet.
1 more down, 4 to go:
Quark Xpress. Duh.
MS Exchange Client. HUGE wound for my company now. Huge!
ATM (Hey, I like it. I need specialized sets in publishing)
Pitstop Pro (or will Acrobat 6 "do it all"?)
I feel like the 5.0 (Reader) is VERY slow and painful in both OS 9 and OS X. Do you guys agree? I wonder what 6.0 will be like...

thanks for the link. way more valuable info than adobe's site, which seems to be a lot of marketing mish-mash, and very little substance.

So, will Distiller RUN in OS X now? Will I actually be able to use hot folders in OS X natively now?

will distiller run in os x? yes. check macgeneration for screenshots.
quark -- finally showing up to the party... MAYBE for WWDC, but i doubt it any earlier than seybold in the fall, knowing quark.
ms exchange -- according to m$, this summer, as a free upgrader for entourage. ms outlook is dead. completely. hope you have enough licenses of entourage kicking around, because that's going to be ther solution. it "sort of" works now, but still doesn't do things like share calendars, etc.
ATM -- again, dead in the water. adobe's official recommendation is migrating to font reserve. suitcase is another alternative, which supposedly imports atm sets, etc. there may be cross-grade discounts for both from atm, but i can't recall.
pitstop pro -- no idea here. those people i know who use it swear by it, but then again, it's because adobe was never willing to really unleash acrobat until now.
