I find your arguments of the merits of XPS vs PDF very unconvincing. Every advantage you ascribe to XPS was long ago solved in the PDF standard, and it is THE DEFACTO standard because it works extremely well on literally hundreds of millions of desktops. This is not to say Adobe’s strategy is problem free, however. They must guard against bloating the free Reader install until it becomes too unwieldy for the slightly-below-average user. Their version 7 release, for example, had some unfortunate stumblings. XPS is just another copycat attempt from Microsoft to leverage their massive OS installed base into another product line. Unfortunately for them, it is tied to the miserable Vista disaster (and I am a Windows user) and is up against one of the truly innovative powerhouses of desktop software – Adobe – with a gigantic technical & experiential success in the PDF standard.

Have to check out closer this file extension, was not aware it’s getting so much popular. Could easily become a standard by the looks of it.
