Are these competing formats? What are some of the As & Ds? Is XPS like a free version of PDF? Or do you need to pay to make those too?

XPS is the microsoft open source version of documents that they want people
to start using, but it will never happen.

You can create BOTH XPS and PDF for free....

PDF is the format everyone has used for years and will remain so, whatever
Microsoft does. Linux, Macs and Windows can all ready pdf with the proper
software.

Microsoft is just being stupid once more.

It's the same thing with Flash and silverlight. Silverlight is bound to
die.. I don't understand why they even tried to compete with flash! lol

its just that Microsoft lacks every idea of innovation, they just see what
others are doing and launch their own version and try to grab a market
share...

they have failed again and again.. perhaps they would have better luck with
the X-Box and Zunes.. let them stick to tangible products and let the
programs to be made
by people who still have ideas.

Actually I see a method to the madness here. If I had to guess, I would
presume part of their strategy is to tie XPS and Silverlight with the
.NET framework. This way it would make it easier for developers to
generate automatic documents that are most compliant to Windows as well
as certain “dynamic presentations” via Silverlight on
company intranet sites as well as external websites. Of course this in
turn will be enhanced with supporting code specific for these
technologies within IE itself as an added boost.

By the time this happens, to further finish the blow, Expression Studio
will be ready to completely replace Adobe’s entire product line.
In the meantime some features will be incorporated in Vista and Windows
7 for free, like the future photo one in Ultimate extras.

Fast forward 10 more years and Microsoft Mom (a revamp of MS Bob) will
be there to raise the next generation with robots, because motherly
roles will be also assimilated by the Microsoft Corporation and
Mom’s will also be out of work and obsolete!

I found this link:

This looks pretty good actually. It looks like it has a lot of uses in
firms where a lot of secrets and “privileged information”
floats around. Especially like law firms and government and such.
