I have used Scribus on both a Windows Vista machine and an Ubuntu machine. Scribus has worked very well on the Vista Machine with no complaints as to performance. The jury is still out on the Scribus on Ubuntu experience mainly because the Ubuntu machine is not very powerfull so it is rather slow. But aside from the slowness Scribus works fine so far. I like it.
I have some apps like Acrobat 9 Pro Extended that is a Windows only version of Acrobat as is Adobe LiveCycle Designer (XML forms authoring app) so It is Windows for those (I'm want to be able to do some serious PDF work). All the other graphics apps I use are open source. Hurrah! For the most part they all work great. Thanks to all those who have provided some make sense and objective thoughts. Those kind of comments really help be informed as to what is out there. StevenD -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
