The beta is a free download, runs on Intel Macs
In an emailing to XPress public beta program participants today, Quark has announced that QuarkXPress 7.01 Universal Binary public beta 2 has been released and is available for download now.
The software, designed to run natively on the new Intel-based Macintoshes, is prerelease software and may not have all features operational. It will automatically become non-operational as of 31 July 2006. The beta requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and will run on Power Mac G4 or later (128 MB RAM minimum is recommended).
Important installation instructions and further information (as well as signup for the public beta program) is available at Quark’s website via this link.

Wow. I’m curious, does this UB version alo crash for sure when you apply text wrap to an illustration and move it around a 2 column-textfield that is set to lock on baselinegrid? It sure as h*ll crashes the Passport version of Xpress 7. I can’t believe they did’nt test this. I mean: text, textwrap en 3 colums. That’s what I use everyday.

Great, just great.
You gotta hand it to those guys… They sure know how to re-live the old days…Glad I went for INDD and PDF…
True, woz,
InDesign really has no bugs.
Glad you went there .

There are bugs and BUGS. Crashing an app ‘on command’ by doing day to day things like adjusting the position of a frame with runaround is a BUG
Macteach is right. And what about you Peter? You don’t feel like this is a serious BUG? You don’t use textwrap or what?
