XPS Viewer for Mac
Kristof promised you a few weeks ago that the upcoming version of NiXPS (v1.5) will have some really exciting features. Let me give you a sneak peek at one of them.
We start from a document we saved from Powerpoint 2007 to XPS, which can be viewed in NiXPS v1.5 beta 1 on Windows:
This is not new - actually it is, but it is not very noticeable on Windows. If you copy the XPS file over to Mac, and open it with NiXPS v1.5 beta 1 for Mac, you get:
Full XPS previewing on Mac: that's right ;-)
We developed our own native renderer for XPS, and as a result we can preview XPS files on non-Windows platforms in NiXPS v1.5.
This is a fantastic feature, and improves the user experience tremendously.
We're finishing NiXPS v1.5 beta 1 as we speak, and bring it on-line later this week (to a limited audience at first). ¶ 16:53 0 Comments

NiXPS listed on Microsoft.com
Microsoft redesigned their XPS information pages.
It's a good place to start when looking into XPS. It gives a good overview of the format, and provides links to the required software to be able to create and read the files.
Also included is a section called 'XPS Technology Showcase', which lists companies that are working on products and services around the new format.
Take a look here, and scroll all the way down until you see the pink airplane - NiXPS : that's us ;-).
It's great that Microsoft supports us this way and gives us this unique opportunity to present ourselves.
In the mean time we're working hard improving the software, and like Kristof mentioned in his post yesterday, fantastic new stuff is just around the corner - stay tuned! ¶ 15:42 0 Comments

Graph Expo 2007
Good news. We have some marvelous features lined up for the upcoming version of the NiXPS software that I am very excited about!
Even better news: in September I will be attending Graph Expo for NiXPS. We are aiming to release our next version around that period, so in case people are curious I will surely be able to show them there.
If you want to meet me in Chicago, to see a little demo or to talk about (Ni)XPS, feel free to drop me a line at kristof at nixps dot com.
I hope to see you there.
