MS, Adobe war in blogosphere
,----[ Quote ]
| "I will be talking about Microsoft more and more in the following
| year. They really haven't changed a bit and are up to the same old
| platform lock-in tricks with their new technologies," wrote Adobe's
| Ted Patrick on his company blog last week.

Microsoft's 'Everywhere' Excludes Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation is aimed at making it
| easier for developers to create modern user interfaces for
| interactive applications whether they are Windows native or
| delivered through web browsers. The problem with browser-based
| interfaces is that not everyone uses Internet Explorer, let
| alone Windows itself. To this end, Microsoft has released
| 'Community Technology Previews' of a future product code-named
| WPF/E (Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere). This
| browser add-on enables rendering of WPF content, but
| "Everywhere" doesn't include Linux.

Windows Vista Product Guide: Free to Download, $149 to Read
,----[ Quote ]
| 'Windows Vista Product Guide' was released in two formats:
|
| Microsoft Office Word 2007
| The standard .doc format isn't good enough, you need to be able to
| read a .docx file, so all those users of Office XP are just plain
| out of luck on
| this one.
|
| XPS
| What the heck is XPS? I hadn't heard of it before now, (a quick
| Google tells me XPS is Microsoft's proprietary rival to PDF)
| but apparently you need a special reader for it (which is
| kindly enough built into Vista, but nothing else).

Adobe could still sue Microsoft: paper
,----[ Quote ]

| compete with Adobe's PDF format. Microsoft has pledged to make
| changes to its version.
