    Please add the name of the software to the end of the title.

    Not mad or anything, but it’ll save some clicks.😁

        Yeah. Guilty. I shoulda called that out to save some clicks. Lol. Publisher.

        I don’t really know of anyone that uses it… Even when I was working in an endpoint team, I don’t remember anyone ever asking for it. Hmm.

    They should shrimply (🦐) increase popularity and profitability by adding copilot??? 🤔 That seems to be very effective in their other products.

    Popular? I mean, really? Quark wasn’t even popular, but at least you could get shit done with it. Then, of course, InDesign swooped in (Adobe gave us free copies at the 2003 SND conference … they weren’t fucking around with trying to change the software we used). But no one liked Quark to start, and it was expensive as fuck, so everyone was like “let’s switch to a different monopoly, as it will be better.”

    What puzzles me is why MS made Publisher in the first place. It was less capable than fucking Aldus PageMaker, arrived at the wrong time and was never widely adopted. This is more like putting your dog down after it started running into walls.
