XPS in Windows 7
Last week Microsoft held its Professional Developer Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles.
One of the highlights of the show was Windows 7, Microsoft's Vista sucessor.
Here a NiXPS we're of course interested in Microsoft's roadmap for XPS, and we were able to find some info on this.
Windows 7 will evolve on the foundations that are being layed out by Vista, as such the printing path in 7 will be XPS based, as it is now in Vista.
The XPS Viewer in Windows 7 will get a makeover, Wictor Wilen describes this more in detail in his blog.
Adrian Ford has given an extensive presentation on the PDC about XPS in Windows 7, and how it allows you to bridge the gap between documents an printing. You can watch it here.
Update: the folks over at the XPS blog have published an overview of the new XPS things to be expected for Windows 7. ¶ 11:14
