Tackling a major incumbent technology is often something only the largest players can engage in. Electronic document formats is one such technology. PDF is synonymous with Adobe and is by some way the default electronic document print format of choice.
Interesting then that Microsoft is investing so much into its own electronic document format called XPS. This is being developed for its Vista operating system.
Microsoft chose Global Graphics to provide consultancy and proof of concept development services for XPS. They provided consultation on the XPS specification and developed a prototype XPS RIP for Microsoft's proof of concept development.
I am currently working my way through some of Global Graphics XPS White Papers. They make interesting reading. They illustrate how established concepts can be redefined and then improved on. This is one to follow.
