In 1985 Felix Dennis' Dennis Publishing, the creators of MacUser in the UK, licensed the name and "mouse-rating" symbol for MacUser to Ziff-Davis Publishing for use in the rest of the world. When Ziff-Davis merged its Mac holdings into Mac Publishing in September 1997, that new company gained the license to use the MacUser name. However, it opted to keep the Macworld magazine brand-name alive, albeit with MacUser-style "mouse ratings." As a result, only the UK edition of MacUser remains, and the UK edition of Macworld is unable to use the mouse-rating symbols used by its fellow Macworld editions.

The UK magazine is aimed at Mac users in the design sector, and each fortnight brings the reader up-to-date with news, reviews and a 'Masterclass', taking the reader through tasks such as photo retouching and creating movies using iMovie.
