Ah, ok, so they complied with the requirements -- if only with a delay
of a decade. It certainly wasn't there in Win98, and I can't imagine
it being there in W2k if only the XP Pro edition has it.

Next was a computer architecture and operating system, not the DTP
software itself. It wasn't anything like a PC, neither in price nor in
quality, so it can be totally unknown to Adobe/Quark users. BTW, it
was before Adobe and Quark took off, that is mid-80s.

Next was then acquired by Apple (in fact, I think it was founded by
one of the Apple founders), and the NextStep environment has its big
come-back in the form of OpenStep inside MacOS X.
