Microsoft to introduce PDF competitor
posted at 16:39 GMT by T.Whid in /news/twhid/geek
Computerworld reports that Microsoft will be including a new document format called ‘Metro’ with Longhorn. Apparently, Metro is intended to be a competitor to Adobe’s PDF and Postscript formats. The format will be open and available for royalty-free licensing, and will be based on XML.This sorta puts the whole Adobe aquiring Macromedia deal into a new light.
