It requires LION?

Why could you not have made it compatible with Snow Leopard? All the Macs in my graphics dept run on SL becuase it is more stable, and works better with Exchange servers than Lion or ML.

 Adobe software dominates our workflow. The one concession we have to Quark 10 is that maybe, MAYBE we might have to open a Quark 10 file from a customer once in a blue moon.

With the requirement that we all have to upgrade our Macs to Lion in order to run Quark 10, makes it a lot less likely we will want to buy more than one token liscence.

What a colossal mistake on your part.

With Quark's market share shrinking, I would think that you would want to make it as compatible as you possibly could. But I guess that's too much work for what we all know is really just a cosmetic, "need it to open Quark 10 files" upgrade.
