“Additionally, Microsoft has received feedback from hardware and software developers requesting a process that prevents frequent revisions and changes to the MSXPS format to prevent the frequent rewriting of their applications and drivers to match the arbitrary changes. OpenXPS is an international standard with a formalized change processes and a wide publication of revisions.” <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/69.146.144.86|69.146.144.86]] ([[User talk:69.146.144.86|talk]]) 04:42, 16 June 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Talk Page Misuse ==

Just a friendly reminder folks: "This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject." Andacar 18:26, 9 July 2012 (UTC) <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Andacar|Andacar]] ([[User talk:Andacar|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Andacar|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Past Tense ==

Why does this article refer to XPS/OXPS in the past tense? I have not found any mention in the article of the format's demise or abandonment, so the use of past tense is confusing. If past tense is applicable, I believe it is important to explain the rationale prominently in the first paragraph. Otherwise, I propose that this article be edited to use present tense.

the intro is written at way to sophisticated a level for a general encylopedia

re write it so it is intelligelbe to you grandmother, somoething along the lines of a is a type of electroni file that is like a piece of paper, in that it is hard to change after it is made, unlike say a typical wordprocessor document which can be chagned at will

The XPS rules (specificatins) include rules for describebing the page, font, etc

(and if you carp about my poor speling you get an exgtra deduction for not seeing forest for the trees) <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/50.245.17.105|50.245.17.105]] ([[User talk:50.245.17.105|talk]]) 19:44, 12 December 2014 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== External links modified ==

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to {{plural:1|one external link|1 external links}} on [[Open XML Paper Specification]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=699539953 my edit]. If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

*Added archive https://web.archive.org/20090919151131/http://www.microsoft.com:80/whdc/xps/xpscommunitypromisefaq.mspx to http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/xps/xpscommunitypromisefaq.mspx

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the ''checked'' parameter below to '''true''' to let others know.

{{sourcecheck|checked=true}}

== OpenXPS vs XPS readers ==

The article mention libgxps based readers as supporting OpenXPS, which is not accurate. It seems to only support the older XPS format. (eVince, possibly others) (The entire third party support section seems to include possibly XPS-only readers in the OpenXPS article) [[Special:Contributions/196.14.169.11|196.14.169.11]] ([[User talk:196.14.169.11|talk]]) 17:14, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

== Microsoft removes XPS Viewer from Windows 10 ==

Hi. I'm new to editing Wikipedia, but I'm wondering if it would be appropriate to add a section about Microsoft removing the XPS Viewer from Windows 10.<ref>https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/unlock-xps-viewer/</ref> It would seem to indicate that they have largely abandoned support for the XML format.
